We aim to be catalytic in our impact, funding organizations that support vulnerable and marginalized communities as they work creatively and collaboratively towards transformational change. We invest in two focus areas: civic engagement and NYC-based arts education.

Beyond providing funding, we also care about creating processes that work. We believe that nonprofit leaders know best how to direct the support we provide. Our application and reporting requirements are simple and transparent, so that organizations can focus on their missions.

We believe in the power of collaboration to effectively leverage resources, develop ecosystems, and create new opportunities. Joint projects with other funders and grantees mean we can do even more to advance our vision of a more engaged, just, and equitable society.
