| Many organizations ask us what kinds of grants we give. We hope the following sampling of some of our recent grants will help. |
Adelphi University: Long Island is suffering from a serious shortage of nurses. The Foundation established an endowed Scholarship to provide funds for students attending the School of Nursing. We hope that this scholarship will put nursing school within the reach of students who might not otherwise be able to attend, while addressing a critical need on Long Island.
We are also happy to support Adelphi’s Long Island Center for Nonprofit Leadership. In this difficult economy, every opportunity to help our local nonprofit community operate more efficiently is a help to the community as a whole. Summit 2009 was a tremendous success with over 200 nonprofit leaders and executives from across the metropolitan region in attendance. |
The Child Center of New York: In line with our emphasis on children and preventative care, the Foundation supports the Trude Weishaupt Center child abuse prevention program, which provides counseling and support for families struggling with issues of neglect and abuse. |
|
Empire State College: The Foundation is delighted to fund scholarships for working nurses who wish to complete their Bachelors, helping them to move up into critically needed administrative positions. |
Farms for City Kids: Enriches the lives of disadvantaged students by providing the experience of helping to run a 1,052 acre working Vermont dairy farm during a one week stay. The intellectually and physically challenging farm activities broaden students’ perspectives, and build self-confidence and social skills. We are pleased to help fund this innovative program. |

Island Harvest: In support of its mission to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island, the New York Community Bank Foundation provided major support for Island Harvest’s core Food Collection and Distribution Program. |
Queens Theatre in the Park: Queens’ diverse, growing population is exposed to a wide range of cultural events through the Queens Theatre in the Park’s First Time Free Program. The Foundation is proud to support this programmatic outreach into the community. |
School for Language and Communication Development: The Foundation is happy to have helped renovate the school’s new site. SLCD provides much-needed specialized schooling for children with a wide range of language and autism spectrum disorders. |
South Nassau Hospital: The Foundation is pleased to fund the Senior Outreach Program, which provides health outreach, education, screening and immunization services to seniors, allowing them to maintain their health and continue living in the community.
