Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to support frontline organizations that innovatively tackle the city’s most intractable problems, block by block. Its 2024 filing describes its grant program as partnering with nonprofit organizations to promote safety, security, and a high quality of life throughout New York.
Its stated pillars cover programs that support children, teenagers, and young adults through education, mentorship, and career pathways; address the needs of NYC neighborhoods and communities, including people experiencing homelessness; and prevent or minimize violence and loss of life.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate the range of work represented in its grants. The Police Athletic League says it works with the NYPD and law enforcement community to support and inspire NYC youth. Good Shepherd Services describes its work expanding opportunities in underinvested NYC communities through youth and family development. Young New Yorkers says its restorative art diversion programs help young people exit the criminal legal system, while Good Call NYC describes using technology and community organizing to provide communities of color with access to legal support. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
