Description: The Charles Hayden Foundation seeks to promote the mental, moral and physical development of children and youth ages three to eighteen. Program Support grants are focused on efforts to help youth develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in school and lay the foundation for satisfying and productive lives. Priority is given to programs in New York City and the city of Boston that Improve and expand community-based programs in the non-school hours, and to support schools with a demonstrated ability to graduate economically disadvantaged students who subsequently attend and are equipped to succeed in high performing high schools, colleges, and universities. This includes charter schools in existence for at least two full operating years in New York City, Boston, Massachusetts, and Newark, New Jersey, as well as independent and parochial schools that predominately serve economically disadvantaged students.
Eligibility: The Charles Hayden Foundation makes contributions only to institutions that serve children and youth ages 5 to 18 from the City of Boston and metropolitan New York. Metropolitan New York is defined as New York City, and, in New Jersey, primarily the city of Newark. Grants are also made to institutions that support youth activities outside these areas when a substantial majority of the youth served comes from within the Foundation's defined geographic catchment areas; must also meet program requirements.
