PROFILE: The Irma L. and Abram S. Croll Charitable Trust is a private foundation managed by Wells Fargo Philanthropic Services, which serves as a trustee for the foundation. The Croll couple created this trust to fulfill their philanthropic legacy. They were committed to the New York area and wished to see their support continue after their deaths. The foundation aims to “perpetuate the generosity of the Croll family by supporting various charitable causes in the New York City area.” It funds local efforts for arts and culture, education and health.
The Irma L. and Abram S. Croll Charitable Trust has fairly broad interests within the city of New York. The founders had various interests in the city, and so this trust continues their legacy of giving in these different ways. However, many grants from this funder go to groups with Jewish religion affiliations. Past support has gone to intuitions of higher education for cultural programs, multimedia art installations at museums and programs that promote Jewish culture cooking traditions.
Grants range between about $25,000 and $200,000. The funder typically awards three to five grants per year and gives around $400,000 each year.

This foundation accepts unsolicited grant applications from nonprofits. The grant application deadline each year is June 1. The funder accepts applications year-around, however, and reviews applications at an annual grant meeting. Grantseekers should submit their requests electronically through the Wells Fargo online grants system. Applicants receive an automated email to confirm their submissions and usually hear back from the funder with grant decisions in September.
