Four programs. One purpose.

Helping children access the support they need, when they need it most. Grants typically range from $1,000 to $10,000 and are reviewed within two to four weeks.

Under 18
Who we serve

Children under 18, in NYC and surrounding communities to start, expanding as resources allow. Referrals from schools or providers help but are not required.

A note on scope

What our grants do not cover.

So families know up front and can plan accordingly.

  • Emergency medical care or crisis intervention
  • Ongoing financial support for everyday living expenses
  • Replacement of insurance, school district, or government responsibilities
  • Funding is limited, so not every application can be approved
