Grantee Profile

The Mayor’s Fund and its partners advance initiatives that improve the lives of New Yorkers from all walks of life and across all five boroughs. In particular, the Mayor’s Fund has made strategic investments to promote mental health services for all New Yorkers, increase workforce development opportunities for young New Yorkers, and meet the needs of New York City’s diverse immigrant community.

About Our Grants

In 2019, the Woodcock Foundation awarded the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City a one-year $50,000 grant. These funds are to support the NYC Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice in partnership with JUSTInnovate to lead a delegation to visit European prisons and correctional facilities. The trip will expose NYC criminal justice leadership to highly innovative built environments in Scandinavian correctional systems.
