Through this initiative we support a limited number of innovative, community-based projects that build the capacity of vulnerable individuals, communities and organizations in New York City. We understand that in addition to safe housing, strong schools, quality health services, and economic opportunity, vulnerable individuals and families need access to creative and innovative programs that inspire and support them in their efforts to improve their own lives and communities. To that end, we embrace program models that empower and engage individuals and families in community-based solutions.
We are currently engaged in a number of long term projects and are no longer accepting unsolicited proposals for this initiative, choosing instead to focus our resources on existing projects.
