As New York’s community foundation, we foster and engage in enduring and innovative philanthropy.
The grant program has two primary goals. The first is to support thriving communities by funding organizations that work towards affordable housing, equity in the arts, civic engagement, and environmental protection. This includes support for agencies operating at the neighborhood level as well as larger governmental and non-profit institutions developing overarching strategies. The second goal is the Technical Assistance program, which aims to enhance the management capacity of non-profits, thereby strengthening the sector. This involves advancing the skills of professionals within the public and non-profit service areas and supporting organizations that provide technical assistance to other non-profits.
