is an immediate public opportunity to improve the lives of low-income New Yorkers.
Dear Friends, Investors, & People Who Care About New York City...
Grand St. Settlement is all about opportunity. Over the last century, we have helped hundreds of thousands of New York families, delivering high-quality pre-Kindergarten, afterschool, summer camp, job training, housing, and senior services across the Lower East Side and Brooklyn.
Today, the people we serve confront rising barriers to achievement that threaten to broaden the gap between the rich and the poor, a gap that opportunity can help fill.
The Second Century Campaign creates that opportunity. We are happy to announce that Grand St. Settlement is offering a nonprofit “IPO” to modernize our community center at 80 Pitt St. and improve opportunities for low-income New Yorkers. Up to 75,000 fundraising “shares” have been made available at just $80 each.
With your purchase of just 14 shares, we will be able to serve an additional family of 4 for the next 40 years.
Initial investors and government funders have already done much of the groundwork, and over two-thirds of the $15 million for the Second Century Campaign have already been raised. We now invite you to invest in our nonprofit IPO, the first of its kind in New York City.
We’ve adopted an investment mindset in our work to help New Yorkers step out of poverty and into opportunity. This nonprofit IPO – a unique form of charitable giving – gives you the opportunity to invest in our community.
Please join us.
With gratitude,
Campaign Chair
Executive Director
