Grant

The Summer Matters Initiative

Funds were given for the Summer Matters Initiative, a public-private partnership of New York City youth grantmakers and the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development.

The partnership was formed to help bridge the gap in funding caused by cuts to out-of-school time programs by New York City and State. Summer Matters is focused on improving the quality of year-round science and math programming.
