GRANTS BEING MADE FOR THE SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR NOW TOTAL MORE THAN $175 MILLION. GRANT AWARDEES WILL ALSO RECEIVE TECHNICAL AND CAPACITY-BUILDING ASSISTANCE VALUED AT OVER $2.5 MILLION
Carnegie Corporation of New York today announced 542 two-year grants totaling more than $60 million to support arts and social service organizations located in each of the city's five boroughs. The grants are being made for the seventh consecutive year through the generosity of an anonymous donor who, with the inclusion of the latest gift, will have provided more than $175 million to Carnegie in critical support of New York’s nonprofit community since 2002.
Carnegie Corporation is pleased to announce that organizations receiving awards this year will get an additional dimension of support—technical assistance in the form of a voluntary, comprehensive capacity strengthening program, including workshops and one-on-one consulting. Services for arts grantees will be administered by Michael M. Kaiser, President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, who has worked with national and international arts organizations on strategic planning, marketing and other development issues. Social service organizations will be provided similar assistance from Community Resource Exchange, a New York-based consulting firm that works with NYC nonprofits on program measurement, board development, and fundraising, among other services. This administrative support, valued at over $2.5 million, is being provided at the donor’s request to enhance the value of the grant funds and further each organization’s long term goals.
For the first time in the program’s history, grantees have been given a two-year commitment, which coupled with the technical assistance program, is designed to help each of the awardees build their organizational capacity and achieve long-term development goals. More than $30 million is being awarded for this grant term. The second installments of the grants, also totaling $30 million, will be awarded in Spring 2009.
As has been the practice in the past, grantees are broadly representative, geographically and in mission, of the city’s neighborhood-based arts, cultural and social service organizations. Among the arts grantees are organizations like St. Ann's Warehouse, a live performance space in DUMBO, St. George’s Theater, a performing arts venue in Staten Island and Bronx-based The Point, which fosters cultural revitalization in Hunts Point. In the social service arena, grantees include Sunnyside Community Services, serving residents from children to seniors in western Queens communities, and Manhattan-based Nontraditional Employment for Women, which prepares women for jobs in the construction industry. There are 542 grantees.
“We are honored and gratified by the trust this single donor has placed in Carnegie Corporation of New York and in our record of philanthropy during the past seven years,” said Carnegie Corporation President Vartan Gregorian in announcing the grants. “Since 2002, in conformity with the donor’s wishes, we have selected small and medium-sized New York City-based and registered organizations that serve the public through the arts and social services. At the donor’s request, we are also thrilled that support is being provided for capacity-building skills to equip these organizations for years of continued growth and service to the city.”
Gregorian continued, “The work that these organizations have done—and will continue to do—and the sense of community they foster, demonstrate the vibrant, dynamic nature of the city. All New Yorkers owe a great debt of gratitude to the anonymous donor for assisting the missions of the myriad social service and arts organizations. Once again, this donor has given generosity a good name.”
Carnegie Corporation of New York was founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1911 to promote “the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding.”
