About the Patrina Foundation

The Patrina Foundation is a family foundation, started in 1990 by Mrs. Lorinda de Roulet. From the beginning, this foundation has sought to promote educational opportunities and advance scholarship by and about women. Today, the foundation has expanded its scope to include support of social programs to improve the lives of girls and women.

Focusing its efforts in the the greater New York Metropolitan area, Foundation grants promote curriculum development and research in women's studies and support projects that prepare girls and women to meet the professional and personal challenges in their lives.

The Foundation's net assets are in the range of $11 million. Aggregate annual grants total approximately $350,000.

The Board of Directors meets to consider proposals four times a year. Please contact, Kara D’Angelo, the Executive Director, to inquire about the next proposal deadline.
