ABC is a champion for all children. Every day hunger, poverty, homelessness, physical and emotional abuse, abandonment, neglect, substance abuse, substandard housing, failing schools, and disease endanger children’s welfare and undermine their future. ABC defends the right of every child to a joyful and nurturing childhood by creating compassionate programs in urgent response to the needs of New York City’s most vulnerable children and families. Since 1986, ABC has developed replicable model programs that are comprehensive, cost-effective, and sustainable. These proven models spread ABC’s innovation and advocacy, reaching children throughout New York City and well beyond its borders.

ABC operates 5 early childhood education centers: Cassidy’s Place, Merricat’s Castle School, Graham School, Cody Gifford House, and Keith Haring School. These schools provide special education services, Head Start, and Universal Pre-Kindergarten for disadvantaged and/or homeless children, children with medical and developmental challenges, and typically developing children in the neighborhood, depending on the site. Other programs include ABC’s Supportive Housing Program, a permanent housing program for formerly homeless families with HIV/AIDS; Fast Break Mobile Mental Health Clinic, a clinic and mobile crisis and disaster response service for emotionally disturbed children and their families; All Children’s House Preservation Services, a Child-Parent Psychotherapy resource for fragile families with children under 6 working towards stability through home-based care management, family counseling, advocacy, and other wraparound services; Youth Services, which include an afterschool program for school-aged children with emotional and behavioral difficulties, an eight-week summer camp, and teen leadership development; and Open Door program.

The BioBus mission is to help minority, female, and low-income K - 12 and college students in New York City discover, explore, and pursue science. Through this work, we envision a world where all people have the opportunity to reach their full scientific potential. Over the past nine years, 200,000 students at more than 500 schools have discovered the thrill of scientific discovery, with many embarking on a path of scientific exploration and sustained pursuit. Students discover the excitement of hands-on science aboard our Mobile Labs, equipped with $75,000 microscope and staffed by scientists. Parked in front of a school, entire classes of pre-K through twelfth-grade students climb on board for inquiry-based, hands-on, standards-aligned lab sessions. After 45-minutes aboard a BioBus Mobile Lab, students have more positive attitudes towards science and want to do more. Eight to twelve week BioBus “Explore” programs at existing schools and community centers provide the students opportunities to develop their own research practice.

At the same time, BioBus scientists build site staff's capacity to run inquiry-based research programs, as well as help equip sites with hardware and supplies. We further support our students in becoming tomorrow’s scientific leaders through our “Pursue” paid internships for high school and college students. BioBus interns develop an independent science research project while serving as mentors to many of our younger students through teaching. "Pursue" and some "Explore" programs are located at BioBase Harlem @ Columbia's Zuckerman Institute. At this community lab, students work side-by-side with BioBus scientists and use the same advanced research microscopes found aboard our mobile labs.

NAC's mission is to provide innovative high quality services in support of birth, foster and adoptive families caring primarily for medically fragile children which includes children with severe physical disabilities, emotional and behavioral challenges, and developmental disabilities. NAC was founded in 1982 in response to the surge of ""border babies"" living in hospitals and institutions in New York City because their birth families were unable to care for them at home. These were babies born with positive toxicology and children with cerebral palsy, brittle bone disease, HIV/AIDS, severe birth deformities and a variety of other serious illnesses. NAC's founders believed that there were families in the community more than willing to foster or adopt these children. Over the years, NAC has assisted thousands of children, and currently provides services for over 750 families and 1,500 children per year.

Working with children whose birth families live in poverty, NAC's continuum of services ensures that children's physical, social, educational, recreational, medical and mental healthcare needs are met. By supporting families in this manner, NAC prevents lengthy stays in foster care, hospitals or other institutions. NAC's services include case management; on-site medical and mental health clinics; counseling and referrals for housing, benefits, and legal assistance; foster care and adoption services; prevention services; after-school tutoring and a College Bound Program; Parenting Education; Mentoring groups; Pet Therapy, Art Therapy and Music groups; and other services that draw on multidisciplinary expertise.

The New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth) is a private, statewide foundation dedicated to improving the health of all New Yorkers. We strive to be focused and purposeful in our work; establish and adhere to clear goals and strategies; and measure our progress. We are committed to making grants, but also to making a difference beyond our dollars: informing health care policy and practice, spreading effective programs to improve the health system, serving as a neutral convener of health leaders across the State, and providing technical assistance to our grantees and partners. NYSHealth concentrates its initiatives in two strategic priority areas:

• Building Healthy Communities: To help communities become healthier, more active places, the Foundation is supporting initiatives across the State to help more New Yorkers of all ages eat healthy foods, become physically active, and have access to a range of programs that encourage healthy life choices.
• Empowering Health Care Consumers: New Yorkers find the health care system incredibly complex to understand and navigate. To ensure that consumers have the tools, resources, and support they need to make informed decisions about their health care, the Foundation is committed to increasing consumers’ choice, control, and convenience.

Other Focus Areas Include:

• Veterans' Health: The NYSHealth Initiative for Returning Veterans and Their Families seeks to underscore that the health care, mental health, and social services issues returning veterans and their families face are not solely military issues, but public and community health issues that should be addressed by local and national government agencies, community-based organizations, and health funders.
• Special Projects Fund (SPF): Grants through our Special Projects Fund allow us to support projects that address an important health care or public health issue in the State, but are outside of our targeted priority areas. Eligible projects are coordinated interventions that take place over a specified period of time to achieve quantifiable results.
• Policy and Research: Opportunities to work with our Policy and Research team, conducting literature reviews and background research related to various health policy issues in New York.

Upsolve is an award-winning nonprofit technology startup that helps low-income Americans get a fresh start after financial shocks. We do this through the first software platform that automates Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a lifeline for low-income Americans because it erases debt from credit cards, medical bills, and judgments. But it’s impossible for most people to file for bankruptcy because they cannot afford attorneys.

Last year, 19 million American households would have benefitted from filing for bankruptcy but fewer than half a million did file. At Upsolve, you’ll help more clients in one month than many nonprofits help in multiple years. We’re supported by the top funders in our space. This includes the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the Robin Hood Foundation, and the U.S. Government, which is supporting our 2018 national expan
