The Peter & Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation

Wondering where to direct energy into something that outlasts a single project. The Peter & Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation is the kind of operation that works behind the scenes, quietly building and sustaining. Foundations don’t shout; they fund—grants, initiatives, long-term bets. Their focus stays on impact, not applause.

If you need to reach them, head to 633 3rd Ave on the 16th floor—a standard Midtown elevator ride, no frills. The building is all glass and steel, the kind of address that reads “corporate” without trying. Inside these walls, grant seekers and partners come and go. No storefront, no sidewalk buzz, just the hum of serious work.

Need a line in the right direction. Call (212) 360-6173 and someone will help you figure out where to send proposals or inquiries. They won’t give you the runaround; they’ll tell you the next step. That quiet efficiency is why people remember to dial them.
