Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for New York City's Age-Specific Programs
The Foundation's Grants for Supporting Age-Specific Programs in New York City aim to address the challenges of age segregation by fostering intergenerational connections and promoting a more age-inclusive society. The primary target outcomes for this grant program are centered around creating opportunities for meaningful interactions between people of different ages, backgrounds, and experiences.
One of the key outcomes is to increase the number of programs and services that bring together older and younger generations in New York City. This can be achieved through initiatives such as mentorship programs, intergenerational arts projects, and community-based activities that promote age diversity. The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs is a key partner in supporting these initiatives, providing funding and resources to organizations that are working to promote intergenerational connections through arts and culture.
Another important outcome is to reduce ageism and stereotypes in New York City by promoting intergenerational understanding and empathy. By bringing people of different ages together, these programs can help to break down barriers and challenge age-related biases. For example, programs that pair older adults with younger mentors can help to dispel negative stereotypes about aging and promote a more positive understanding of older adults as valuable contributors to society.
The grant program also aims to support the development of age-friendly infrastructure and services in New York City. This includes initiatives such as age-friendly community planning, accessible public spaces, and transportation services that cater to the needs of older adults. The city's aging population and diverse demographic profile make it an ideal location for testing innovative approaches to age-friendly development. New York City's frontier neighborhoods, such as those in Upper Manhattan and the outer boroughs, present unique challenges and opportunities for age-friendly development.
Measuring Success in New York City
To measure the success of the grant program, the Foundation will be tracking a range of outcomes, including the number of programs and services supported, the number of participants engaged, and the impact of these initiatives on age-related attitudes and behaviors. The Foundation will also be working closely with grantees to identify and document best practices in intergenerational programming, with a view to sharing these lessons more widely across the city and beyond.
New York City's unique demographic profile, with its diverse population and high levels of cultural and artistic expression, provides a rich context for testing innovative approaches to intergenerational programming. The city's many cultural institutions, including those supported by the New York City Council, provide a valuable resource for grantees looking to develop arts-based intergenerational programs. Meanwhile, the city's small business community, which is eligible for small business grants in NYC, can also play a key role in supporting age-friendly development initiatives.
