OUR GRANTEES

For over thirty years, we’ve been finding, fueling and creating the most impactful and scalable solutions to lift families out of poverty in New York City. We partner with over 250 nonprofits to support food, housing, education, legal services, workforce development, and more to New Yorkers living in poverty across all five boroughs.

CCWP is a grassroots abolitionist organization—with members inside and outside prison—that challenges the institutional violence imposed on women, transgender people, and communities of color by the prison industrial complex (PIC). We see the struggle for racial and gender justice as central to dismantling the PIC and we prioritize the leadership of the people, families, and communities most impacted in building this movement.

Our mission is to address the root causes and consequences of violence and poverty through education and health programs that empower youth and communities, and strengthen public systems.

The International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) organizes law students and lawyers to develop and enforce a set of legal and human rights for refugees and displaced persons. Mobilizing direct legal aid, litigation, and systemic advocacy, IRAP serves the world’s most persecuted individuals and empowers the next generation of human rights leaders.

We help election officials adopt the tools and skills necessary to meet the changing needs of today’s public.

The Play Company commissions, develops and produces new plays, from the U.S. and around the world, to create contemporary theatre that reflects and responds to both our New York City home and today’s interconnected world.

Moonshot is a New York City-based political consulting, strategy, government relations and communications firm founded by Jenny Sedlis and Jason Ortiz, two of the city’s most respected and well-connected political strategists. It will offer a full array of services, including electoral work, grassroots advocacy, messaging, crisis communications and digital and social media. Moonshot is founded on the belief that all things are possible with perseverance, skill, and the courage to take that first leap towards a better future. So go ahead and make the leap. Moonshot will take care of the rest.

For almost 10 years through the Ayni Institute we have sought to create trainings, educational experiences and intercultural exchanges that can support leaders and organizations to have the necessary wisdom in order to create a world where there is reciprocity among our species and Mother Earth. We have trained thousands of people, coached and supported leaders to launch organizations, grow them and think about their strategy in a new way. We have also engaged in supporting the projects and communities of our Indigenous elders in the Americas.

The Studio Museum in Harlem is the nexus for artists of African descent locally, nationally, and internationally and for work that has been inspired and influenced by Black culture. It is a site for the dynamic exchange of ideas about art and society.
