2010 Awards Program

Supports Educational Enhancement for Disadvantaged Youth

Since 2004, the New York Life Foundation Awards Program has supported smaller nonprofits by providing six $25,000 grants per year: one in each New York City borough and one in Westchester County, NY. These grants are earmarked for one-time-only support for existing programs.

Can you apply for a Foundation Awards Program grant? Yes, if:

• Your program is located in and serves young people in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, or Westchester County in New York.
• 
  
• The total budget for your organization is $5 million or less.
• 
  
• Your organization is a 501(c)3 and has at least two full-time staff members.
• 
  
• Your program serves disadvantaged youth, including those who are in foster care or aging out of foster care, are homeless, or are neither in school nor working.
• 
  
• Your program prepares young people for higher education or the workplace and equips them to be responsible citizens. Program activities should enrich academic performance and educational commitment; provide a foundation in basic skills, such as reading, writing, mathematics and science, and enhance thinking skills, such as decision-making, problem-solving and reasoning.

Apply from October 1 to December 18, 2009.
