This initiative aims to amplify vital community messages and resources, ensuring underserved populations receive essential information.

Nonprofits can share their messages at no cost, leveraging a significant media value of approximately $150,000, to promote narrative change and essential services across the five boroughs.

Overview

Background We strengthen community voices and ensure everyone has access to vital information and resources to thrive. Our mission is to build public awareness about critical nonprofit resources, programs, and messages by creating and distributing community-driven public service announcements with local artists and creators. We believe an informed public
drives an inclusive democracy. Nonprofits are the trusted voices that shape our communities and pave the way for a more inclusive and just world. But in today's crowded media landscape, these vital voices from local communities are often drowned out and lack the tools to harness the power of media and design as catalysts for social impact. Our PSA Network The PSA Network is the only free advertising space in the nation for nonprofits, by nonprofits. The PSA Network is NYC’s first community media cooperative comprised of digital screens with trusted, community partners like health clinics, supportive housing facilities, community centers, and LinkNYC. The PSA Network builds awareness of essential community resources, services, and programs. Acting as a bridge between trusted messengers and underserved populations, the PSA Network puts the power of information into the hands of the community. The PSA Network is a free platform exclusively by and for any mission-driven organization to share information.
