Carnegie Corporation Awards $60 Million to New York City Organizations
The Carnegie Corporation of New York has announced 542 grants totaling $60 million to arts and social service organizations in New York City's five boroughs. And for the seventh consecutive year, the grants were made possible by the generosity of an anonymous donor. As in years past, the donor is widely believed to be New York City mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. For the first time, however, grantees will be given a two-year commitment, along with technical assistance valued at more than $2.5 million, to help them build organizational capacity and achieve long-term development goals. More than $30 million will be awarded this year, while the second installment, also totaling $30 million, will be awarded next spring. Technical assistance for arts grantees will be administered by John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts president Michael M. Kaiser. Read the article»
