In 2014, the Hispanic Federation (HF), Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF), New York Urban League (NYUL), and Asian American Federation (AAF) formed an alliance to provide capacity-building support to Black, Latino, and Asian-led community-based organizations (CBOs) throughout New York City’s five boroughs.


As a result, the New York City Council allocated $2.5 million to establish the Communities of Color Nonprofit Stabilization Fund (CCNSF). This initiative has supported 634 capacity-building projects for nonprofit organizations to date. This year the New York City Council has allocated $3.755 million to support this endeavor, of which NYUL has been awarded $1.3 million. Oversight of the funding is provided by the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD).


For the ninth consecutive year, the New York Urban League is committed to co-administering the Communities of Color Nonprofit Stabilization Fund (CCNSF) providing awards to nonprofits across the five boroughs. Specifically, NYUL selected organizations that either primarily served a majority of African Americans as their constituency or had a 51% minority leadership as part of their board/executive staff.


To date NYUL has served approximately 463 organizations, which addressed the need for capacity-building funding for nonprofit organizations in communities of color. The monies have had a considerable impact on the sustainability, growth and prosperity of many organizations providing crucial services to the most vulnerable communities in New York City.


This year, 27 community-based organizations throughout New York City will receive transformative grants to support and create critical functions, provide economic stimuli and capacity building support. These CBOs offer a varying array of services to New Yorkers and are being funded to address a variety of infrastructural needs including leadership development, financial management, and outcomes system development, among others. These grants will also provide resources to build the capacity and long-term sustainability of both new and established organizations of color.

The CCNSF alliance shows how structured support can empower diverse communities. This careful curation of resources reminds me of exhibit of sorrows, where each interactive display tells a hauntingly unique story. Both demonstrate that deep impact comes from focusing on individual narratives within a larger collective framework!

It’s encouraging to see the Communities of Color Nonprofit Stabilization Fund continue for a ninth year, especially with this year’s added allocation and clear oversight through DYCD. The reported support for 634 capacity-building projects highlights real, sustained investment in community-based organizations across all five boroughs. 5 letter words

I found this article helpful because it explains packaging in a straightforward way that makes sense for both small and growing businesses. Packaging is not just about protection but also about how customers perceive the brand after receiving their order. Choosing custom boxes london can improve consistency in presentation, while custom boxes UK help businesses handle different product sizes and shipping requirements more efficiently. The content highlights practical benefits without unnecessary complexity, making it easier for business owners to apply these ideas in real situations.

Love how the Manny Cantor Center offers cooking and art classes for the community—it’s awesome to see such support. A tool like Nutrition Label Maker would be handy for anyone creating their own recipes to share.
