Application: $50K for Summer Youth Programs in NYC and Westchester

NewYork-Presbyterian has opened the application process for Community Based Organizations (CBO) to apply for funding opportunities of the development, continuance and growth of Summer Youth Enrichment programs through the New York City and Westchester County.

Summer programs play a critical role in the development of adolescents and young adults by providing structured opportunities for learning, personal growth, and skill-building during the months when school is not in session. These programs help fill the gap by offering safe, engaging environments that promote positive social connections, improve mental and physical well-being, and support career readiness.

This one-time grant of $50,000 will provide needed funding for programs that provide employment opportunities, educational programming, artistic and/or creative experiences, and other forms of youth development throughout the summer. This grant will be awarded to fund either new or continuing programs and projects.

Eligible organizations include:

• CBOs that are governmental agencies or non-profit organizations and provide proof of 501 (c)(3) status or operate under a fiscal sponsor with proof of sponsorship.
• Cannot be affiliated with NewYork-Presbyterian.
• Operating budget over $100K and less than $500K.
• Project submitted engages and serves adolescents and young adults (ages 10 to 24) who live within New York City or Westchester, more specifically: Corona, Crown heights, Chinatown, Lower East Side, Harlem, Inwood, Washington Heights, Mt. Vernon, Peekskill and White Plains.
• Address or consider issues of health equity and justice, health and youth development or diversion systems.
