NY Community Trust
awards $580K in grants
The New York Community Trust
has announced $9.5 million in grants
to 71 nonprofi ts to improve the quality
of life for New Yorkers across a range
of areas — from healthcare to education
— including challenges still facing
New Yorkers due to the COVID-19
pandemic. Of that numbers, $580,000 in
grant money was also distributed to six
Bronx nonprofi ts.
While some parts of the city are
slowly returning to normal, thanks in
large part to the vaccines, others, including
chronically underserved communities,
still have not recovered.
Many of the following grants seek to
ensure recovery efforts don’t leave behind
long neglected communities, and
create a more equitable and sustainable
future for all New Yorkers. Bronx
grantees include:
Montefi ore Medical Center:
$150,000 to improve postpartum care
for low-income women by establishing
the city’s fi rst “fourth trimester” clinic
and evaluating whether new American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
postpartum care guidelines
will improve maternal outcomes in the
Bronx.
Black Feminist Project: $100,000
for the Alice Fields Community Center
for Black Women, Girls, and Marginalized
Genders to support underserved
Black women. It will assemble an advisory
committee of Black women from
the community to guide the center’s activities,
develop programming and support
food distribution.
Wave Hill: $100,000 for a one-year
fellowship that will give four emerging
visual artists support and guidance
in the creation of new work that deals
with the natural world and landscape.
Bronx Legal Services: $80,000 to
help low-income immigrants in the
Bronx — the borough with the highest
COVID-19 hospitalization and death
rates as well as highest unemployment
— apply for the Excluded Workers Fund
and other subsistence benefi ts.
Bronx is Blooming: $75,000 to
Montefi ore Hospital File photo
support volunteer stewardship of
street trees, community gardens
and other green spaces in the Bronx,
which can lower street-level temperatures
and improve air quality.
Nazareth Housing: $75,000 to
help low-income, at-risk and formerly
homeless households remain housed
and fed through supportive housing,
family shelters, food pantries and a
homelessness prevention program.
