The mission of Youth Impacting Community (YIC) under the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation is to foster youth philanthropy, encouraging and supporting projects initiated by or involving children and youth within the community.
The GMCF Community Arts fund grants aim to support community and public arts projects. These projects should focus on long-term displays and endeavors that are free and easily accessible to the public. The program welcomes applications from all art forms, indicating a broad interest in promoting diverse artistic expressions within communities.
