Focused Giving for Meaningful Impact

We fund nonprofits that help children and families access the education and support they need to thrive.

What We Look For

We take a thoughtful, hands-on approach to grantmaking, providing holistic wraparound support to grantees. Every organization we support is carefully evaluated across four key areas:

Strong leadership and governance

Strong, mission-driven leaders and Boards who are deeply connected to their communities and committed to long-term impact.

Clear, measurable outcomes

Clear, measurable goals—and a track record of achieving them. We value data-informed programs that create real results for kids and families.

Healthy infrastructure and organizational culture

A focused mission, strong internal practices, and a healthy culture that supports staff and strengthens community partnerships.

Long-term sustainability and sound financial practices

Sustainable organizations with sound financial management and a diverse base of support.

Where We Give

Lone Pine Foundation has awarded over $134M+ in grants to nonprofits located in communities where team members live and work. Current grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations in Fairfield County, Connecticut; Westchester County, New York; and New York City.
