The Skyline Charitable Foundation

What The Skyline Charitable Foundation does

The Skyline Charitable Foundation (TSCF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2014 and headquartered in Long Island City, New York, that channels philanthropic funds from individuals, corporate sponsors, and government grants to a portfolio of charitable causes. The foundation originated in 2009 as the charitable arm of Skyline Restoration, a building restoration firm, and formalizes the multi-charity giving model its founders had operated informally. Revenue is generated entirely through donations and fundraising — most prominently the Annual Charitable Golf Classic held at Old Westbury Golf and Country Club, which raised $252,738 in 2022, $342,970 in 2023, and over $300,000 in 2024 — supplemented by grants and direct donations via the DonorPerfect online portal.

The foundation operates a growing set of direct-service programs anchored by RAP4BRONX (Relief Access Program for the Bronx), a food relief initiative launched in March 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that has scaled into a multi-borough operation. Programmatic extensions include Harvesting Health Markets (free farmers markets and wellness fairs launched in 2023), Feed TriBoro (a wholesale produce network launched in 2024 connecting upstate New York farmers to Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn communities), and recurring legal clinics for asylum seekers in partnership with immigrant-services organizations. The foundation also regrants funds to a stable of beneficiary charities spanning child welfare (NY Center for Children, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Smile Train, Ronald McDonald House New York), rare disease (Chordoma Foundation), veterans (VFW Post 1819, Hope for the Warriors), ALS, and international development (Happy Watoto, African Soul – American Heart).

TSCF runs on a lean operational footprint of 1–10 employees, relying on a network of core strategic partners — City Harvest, Rethink Food, Food Bank For NYC, United Way of NYC, and the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets — to extend its service delivery capacity. The foundation is governed by a board chaired by John Pantanelli, with Eva Hatzaki as President, founder John Kalafatis as Vice President, and Shana McCormick serving as Executive Director. It holds a Candid Seal Gold 2024 transparency certification and conducts advocacy in coordination with peer organizations, notably a joint Farm Bill 2023 campaign in Washington DC alongside United Way of NYC and Food Bank For NYC.
