Grant Opportunities
Community Fund
NewYork-Presbyterian is launching a new grant program to invest in the communities that it serves. The program seeks to support work that tackles community-identified social determinants of health (SDOH) – the social and economic conditions and environmental factors that affect people’s lives and their health. NewYork-Presbyterian aims to support both targeted, scaled programs that support New Yorkers’ immediate and longer-term needs, as well as work that seeks to change the underlying conditions shaping health disparities.
The Fund will award grants of $80,000 - $150,000 a year for up to two years, with a maximum award of $300,000 in New York City and Westchester County. To be eligible for renewal in the second year, awardees must meet their pre-determined process measures to receive full funding.
NewYork-Presbyterian’s 2022 CHNA identified the following communities as a high priority; as such, there will be one awardee for each of those neighborhoods, which are:
- Washington Heights, Manhattan
- Lower East Side & Chinatown, Manhattan
- Corona, Queens
- Crown Heights, Brooklyn
- Peekskill, Westchester
- Mt. Vernon, Westchester
Social determinants of health identified included:
- Social Isolation
- Housing Insecurity
- Unemployment & Economic Recovery
Qualifying criteria include but are not limited to:
- Applicant must be a not-for-profit, religious, or government agency with a community service mission.
- Applicants must demonstrate they have the infrastructure to meet the goals of the grant.
- The grant must primarily benefit residents of one or more of the priority communities (Washington Heights, Lower East Side & Chinatown, Corona, Crown Heights, Peekskill, Mt. Vernon).
