Hearts to Homes Furnishings Inc
Hartsdale, NY · EIN 32-0542526. Reported 104 grants totalling $1,437,325 to 30 organizations across tax years 2020-2024, on Form 990 Schedule I.
Does this grantmaker accept applications?
Its tax return does not say, and we will not guess. Private foundations file Form 990-PF, which asks outright whether they fund only organizations they select themselves -- 78% say yes, and that one answer is what lets the rest of this site tell you which foundations are worth approaching. Grantmaking charities like this one file a regular Form 990 instead, and the IRS never puts the question to them. Anyone claiming to know the answer from the filing is inventing it.
Three things in the filing do bear on it:
- What kind of organization it is. For Hearts to Homes Furnishings Inc, the IRS classifies it as a philanthropy and voluntarism organization (NTEE T50).
- How spread out its giving is. 30 distinct organizations, with 10% of the dollars going to the largest single recipient. That is genuinely spread out -- the mark of a funder making many independent decisions rather than underwriting one institution.
- How much its list changes. 85% of one year's grantees are funded again the next, across 4 year-to-year transitions. That is well above the 56% median for grantmaking charities, and above the 67% median for private foundations. It describes the organizations it already funds, not whether it would consider a new one.
How big are its grants?
The median reported grant is $11,129. Half of what it reported fell between $6,091 and $20,058; the smallest was $607 and the largest $41,798. If you are asking for materially more than the top of that range, you are asking the wrong organization.
104 of those grants were non-cash -- goods, property or services worth $1,437,325 in total. In-kind giving is real support but it is not a cheque.
Every organization it funded
This is the complete list from its filings, largest first. Recipients are grouped by the EIN the filer reported, not by name, so an organization that was typed differently in two years appears once rather than twice.

What kind of organizations it funds
By the activity category the IRS assigns each recipient, for the 20 of 30 recipients we could match to a registered organization. The categories are the IRS's, not ours -- Schedule I reports the recipient's EIN, so this is a lookup rather than a name match.
Giving by year
| Tax year | Grants reported | Total | Median grant |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 20 | $203,919 | $7,194 |
| 2021 | 23 | $247,104 | $6,091 |
| 2022 | 24 | $363,378 | $13,873 |
| 2023 | 20 | $396,810 | $20,296 |
| 2024 | 17 | $226,114 | $11,002 |
Tax years, not calendar years, and the most recent year is usually incomplete -- Form 990 arrives about a year after the year it covers, so a low final year means late paperwork rather than a grantmaker winding down.
Where its money goes
100% of its giving went to organizations in New York. Community foundations and federated funds are usually the most geographically bounded funders there are -- being outside the footprint is normally disqualifying in a way that a weak programme fit is not.
Down to the city
Foundations that fund only organizations they pick gave to this one
12 private foundations that told the IRS they contribute only to organizations they select themselves reported 24 grants totalling $152,387 to Hearts to Homes Furnishings Inc. That is 40% of the 30 funders we can see giving to it. Those 12 foundations do not take unsolicited requests -- their own returns say so. The IRS classifies this organization as a grantmaking organization.
7 of them gave in more than one tax year, which is the only durability signal the filings carry.
What that does not mean. It does not mean an application here reaches that money. A grant from a closed foundation is often a designated gift or a donor-advised fund earmarked by whoever gave it, and has nothing to do with any open programme this organization runs. Neither tax return says which, so neither do we. The list below is who put money in. It is not a route to it.
| Foundation | State | Reported | Grants | Years | Last |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bernstein Ritenis Foundation | New York | $50,000 | 2 | 2 | 2025 |
| Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation Inc | Connecticut | $50,000 | 1 | 1 | 2023 |
| Grandview-Steers Foundation | New York | $25,025 | 4 | 4 | 2024 |
| Society of Friendly Sons of St Patrick | New York | $12,500 | 2 | 2 | 2025 |

The 10 largest by reported dollars, of 12.
A linked name has a page of its own. We publish one for a foundation that takes no unsolicited requests only when a real share of its giving goes to organizations that make grants themselves, and that page opens by saying it does not take requests.
Both the count and the total are floors. A foundation appears here only where its return named this organization clearly enough for us to match the name to an EIN, which we manage for about two thirds of 990-PF grant rows. There are more; we cannot name them.

Funders that support the same organizations
These grantmakers and private foundations gave to organizations this one also funded. Shared grantees are a sign of overlapping priorities and nothing more: they do not show that any of these funders would consider a new organization. Each page says what its filings show.
How to approach this grantmaker
- Look for a published programme first. Unlike most private foundations, organizations of this kind often do run open, deadlined grant cycles with written guidelines. Its own website is the authority on that; this page is the authority on who it has actually paid.
- Check you are its size. The median reported grant is $11,129 -- and because grants under $5,000 need not be reported, it very likely writes smaller cheques than this page can see.
- Check you are in its geography. Its giving concentrates in New York.
- Read the recipient list for organizations like yours. If nothing on it resembles your work, that is a real answer and a cheap one to get.
