Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes in New York: Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Grant to Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion aims to strengthen communities in New York by addressing challenges in educational access & persistence, economic mobility & well-being, and representation in media & technology. As a priority outcomes-focused grant, the goal is to identify and measure the target outcomes that will drive meaningful change in the state.
Target Outcomes for Educational Access & Persistence
New York is home to a diverse student population, with over 2.7 million students enrolled in public schools across the state. However, disparities in educational outcomes persist, particularly among students from low-income families and communities of color. To address these challenges, the grant prioritizes outcomes such as increased access to quality early childhood education, improved academic achievement in math and reading, and higher graduation rates. The New York State Education Department is a key partner in this effort, working to ensure that all students have the support they need to succeed.
One geographic feature that distinguishes New York is its dense urban areas, including New York City, which is home to over 8.4 million people. The city's diverse economy, cultural institutions, and educational resources make it a hub for opportunity, but also present unique challenges for organizations working to address the needs of its residents. For example, the city's high cost of living and competition for resources can make it difficult for small nonprofits to operate. To support these organizations, the grant prioritizes outcomes such as increased capacity for community-based organizations and improved collaboration between organizations working in the same sector.
Economic Mobility & Well-being Outcomes
New York's economy is a major driver of growth and opportunity, with major industries including finance, technology, and healthcare. However, not all residents have equal access to the benefits of this growth. The grant prioritizes outcomes such as increased access to job training and education, higher rates of entrepreneurship, and improved economic stability for low-income families. The New York State Department of Labor is a key partner in this effort, working to connect residents with job opportunities and provide support for small business owners.
The state's rural areas, including the North Country and the Southern Tier, face unique challenges related to economic development. These regions often have limited access to capital, workforce talent, and other resources, making it difficult for businesses to start and grow. To address these challenges, the grant prioritizes outcomes such as increased investment in rural areas and improved access to resources for small businesses in these regions.
Representation in Media & Technology Outcomes
New York is a hub for the media and technology industries, with major companies and organizations based in New York City and other parts of the state. However, there is a lack of diversity in these industries, with underrepresentation of people of color and women in leadership positions. The grant prioritizes outcomes such as increased representation of diverse voices in media and technology, improved digital literacy among underrepresented groups, and increased access to technology and digital resources for low-income communities. The New York City Economic Development Corporation is a key partner in this effort, working to support the growth of diverse businesses and talent pipelines in these industries.
To measure the success of the grant, outcomes will be tracked and reported on a regular basis. This will include metrics such as the number of students served by grantee organizations, the number of jobs created or retained, and the number of people with improved digital literacy. By prioritizing outcomes that drive meaningful change, the Grant to Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion aims to make a lasting impact in New York communities.
