Our Grantee Partners

CitizensNYC is proud to support a network of hundreds of grantee partners who are making a difference in their communities.

They are the leaders of initiatives like after-school arts programs, community gardens, food pantries, and health workshops for seniors. They are the owners of local restaurants, bookstores, and beauty salons whose businesses also serve as centers of community in their neighborhood. But whatever their focus or mission, what binds them all together is how critical they are to our city.

Through their projects and businesses, residents are building the future of their neighborhoods—fostering connection, creating opportunity, and improving daily life for everyone around them.
