The mission of the funder is not explicitly detailed in the provided information.
The Youth Service Capacity-Building Grants (YSCG) program aims to strengthen the organizational infrastructure of small nonprofit organizations in New York City that provide direct services to youth ages 5 to 25. These grants support efforts to reduce inequality in youth outcomes, focusing on organizations confronting racial and economic segregation, inadequate services for Mexican-descent and LGBTQ youth, and lack of diversity among leadership in youth-serving organizations. The grants offer general operating support to address identified capacity-building needs, including but not limited to financial management, staff training, and strategic planning. To be eligible, organizations must serve high-risk community districts, have programming for Mexican-descent or LGBTQ youth, or have leadership from underrepresented groups.
