Overview

F.Y. Eye's PSA Grant Program empowers nonprofits in NYC by providing free advertising space through its unique PSA Network. This initiative aims to amplify vital community messages and resources, ensuring underserved populations receive essential information. By collaborating with local artists and creators, the program fosters public awareness and engagement. 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.

Background
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 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.
Share Your Info Across Our Network
Our goal is to help nonprofits with zero advertising budget share their message with the world.
The PSA Network is a network of digital screens located in community spaces such as health clinics, supportive housing facilities, and community centers that help build awareness about essential community resources, services, and programs.
The PSA Network is a free platform exclusively by and for any mission-driven organization to share information.
