For Grantseekers

The NYC Haitian Community Hope & Healing Fund was established by the Brooklyn Community Foundation and the United Way of NYC to address the short and long-term needs of individuals, families and communities in the New York City area affected by the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The Fund provides financial support and critical resources to local nonprofit organizations that are attuned to the needs of their neighborhoods; it focuses on strengthening these organizations so that they can most effectively serve the anticipated increased number of people who need assistance with immigration, grief and trauma, job training, housing, English language acquisition and more over the coming months and years.

Note that applications will be accepted starting Monday, February 15, 2010. Please check back to begin the application process.
