Effective june 10, 2026, as well as a change in certain grant/other processes from what was reported on the initial form 1023 (part iv (9)) as filed by the foundation. Form 990-ez, part v line 33, activities not previously reported: the foundation is clarifying [form 1023 (part iv (9)] that it expects to make grants in the future on an objective and non-discriminatory basis to eligible domestic organizations. A grant process procedure will require eligible recipients to submit an application with supporting evidence that will be reviewed by officers of the foundation. The board of directors will only approve grants that are eligible, legitimate and consistent with the foundation's exempt purpose based on availability of funding. Grants will be made to the sleepy hollow country club, a 501(c)7 organization, and other domestic entities for the purpose of preserving and maintaining historic and architecturally significant buildings, promoting the legacy of the architects or promoting the history of the hudson river valley. The foundation will have the ultimate authority to use donor contributions for these intended purposes as stated in the foundation's communication materials to potential donors.
