KHF Grant Activity Fiscal Year (Dollars) NAME 43 100 1991 F 1994 Fiscal Year Total Category: Grant Requests | Keith Haring 2/1/18, 2:21 PM The Keith Haring Foundation Grant Requests ACRIA Kind of Support Requested: Programming Purpose: AIDS, Youth Request Amount: $100,000 Summary: Gift of $500,000, paid over five years DUE: 03/15/18: $100,000 (this marks the second of five payments for $100,000 each) PAID: 03/21/17: $100,000 ORIGINAL APPLICATION DESCRIPTION BELOW: Renewed programming support requested for a different initiative: “Love Heals Youth Education Program”. Love Heels provides NYC youth of color with HIV prevention education and community advocacy and leadership training. Due to poverty, socioeconomic inequality, discrimination and lack of access to youth- and LGBTQ-friendly sexual and reproductive healthcare, the young people involved with Love Heels are disproportionately impacted by high rates of HIV, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and unintended adolescent pregnancies. The program includes: “Leadership Empowerment and Awareness Program” (LEAP) for Girls, a 16-session curriculum (presented twice a school year) which offers young women of color, ages 12 to 19, the opportunity to develop leadership and community advocacy skills using a culturally sensitive sexuality health education program; The “Community Action Project”, an exchange platform for youth to share information and practice newly-acquired leadership skills with their families, peers, and neighbors, focusing often on themes around HIV/AIDS; “The Youngblood Project [2.0],” a sexual Health program for Young Men offered in two four-month cycles during the school year, two hours per day after school, twice a week; “Parent-Child Communication Workshops” (in English and Spanish) provide parents, guardians and other caretakers of adolescents with the knowledge and skills they need to communicate with their young people about sexuality and HIV prevention; “Youth Advisory Council” recruits, trains, and mobilizes youth of color to become advocates in their schools and communities around issues related to HIV prevention and sexual and reproductive health; and “Love Heals Speakers Bureau” which invites HIV-positive speakers and trained health educators to visit approximately 200 schools and community groups annually to provide facts about HIV, share personal testimonials about how they contracted HIV, and discuss how the virus has impacted their lives. In April 2015, the New York State Department of Health released data indicating that together, Black and Hispanic youth in New York City, ages 12 to 24, account for 85% of new HIV diagnoses. Founded by a grassroots coalition of scientists, physicians, activists, artists, and HIV-positive people, ACRIA addressed the lack of information and research on HIV during the early days of the epidemic. Twenty-five years later ACRIA’s mission has grown to include HIV education for people living with HIV/AIDS, as well as their caregivers; HIV prevention and quality http://www.haring.com/kh_foundation/is/grant_requests Page 1 of 9 Category: Grant Requests | Keith Haring 2/1/18, 2:21 PM comprehensive sexuality health education for young people; and groundbreaking research on the lives and service needs of people living with HIV. The organization also maintains the “Mapplethorpe-Haring Intervention Model“, which represents a study into depression in HIV+ New Yorkers over 50. Previous KHF gift of 25K awarded 11/24/15 to support ACRIA’s “Living with HIV” workshops. – THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC RENEWAL – --Submitted on January 01, 1970 at 12:00 AM | Existing Obligations | Leave a comment | AIDS Walk New York Kind of Support Requested: Programming Purpose: AIDS Request Amount: $30,000 Summary: AWNY 2018 Event sponsorship opportunities. Walk will take place Sunday, May 20, 2018. AIDS Walk New York 2018 Cover Letter AIDS Walk New York 2018 Sponsorship Opportunities KHF previously sponsored AWNY at the Principal Sponsor level for 30K on March 7, 2017 (25K + 5K for costs associated with the KH Balloon). RECOMMENDATION: We suggest renewed funding at the Principal Level (25K) plus an additional 5K to cover overhead costs associated with the installation of the Macy’s/Haring balloon in Central Park on the day of the Walk. Total suggested gift: 30K. --Submitted on January 01, 1970 at 12:00 AM | Requests for Continued Programming | Leave a comment | Association to Benefit Children Kind of Support Requested: Programming Purpose: AIDS, Youth Request Amount: $75,000 http://www.haring.com/kh_foundation/is/grant_requests Page 2 of 9 Category: Grant Requests | Keith Haring 2/1/18, 2:21 PM Summary: Renewed programming support sought for “The Keith Haring School”, which serves as a therapeutic nursery school for infants and toddlers (birth to three-year-olds) who have serious disabilities and are medically fragile, prioritizing the formerly homeless families with HIV/AIDS living in ABC’s supportive housing program (same building as the school), children from the community with HIV/AIDS, and children from families affected by HIV/AIDS. The “Keith Haring School” is located on the ground floor of the organization’s East 116th street location, within the ABC’s permanent Supportive Housing Program facility. It provides occupational, physical, and speech therapies as well as educational instruction to fragile infants and toddlers. At the Keith Haring School, children with different developmental and cognitive delays and disabilities learn and play together in a nurturing group-based modality. For children who may be better served at home, ABC’s team of educators and therapists bring the therapies and the lessons of the classroom into their homes. ABC addresses the complex and compounded needs of seriously at-risk children and families living in poverty and often directly effected by HIV/AIDS. Their focus is on East Harlem. KHF’s previous award to ABC of 75K was issued 12/8/16. RECOMMENDATION: We suggest funding at full request following. Nan notes that the program does not provide long term interventions or mentoring, but that our support does represent a long-standing relationship carrying our name, so it is reasonable to continue funding in full at this time. --Submitted on November 20, 2017 at 5:48 PM | Requests for Continued Programming | 1 Comment | Casita Maria, Inc. Kind of Support Requested: Programming Purpose: Art, Youth Request Amount: $50,000 Summary: Renewed programming support sought for a different initiative: “Casita Maria Creative Arts Programs,” which organizes exhibitions and performances of artists from Hunts Point/South Bronx residents, representing the neighborhood’s predominant Puerto Rican and African American populations to newer immigrant communities from Mexico, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, the Garifuna of Central America, and other cultures. The events take place in a public middle and high school (Bronx Studio School for Writers and Artists). Each exhibition includes artist-led community engagement activities, such as workshops or discussions, that facilitate dialogue around the art and social justice issues it explores. From Jan-March 2018: Curated in collaboration with Bronx community leader/activist Elba Cabrera, this exhibition will celebrate under-recognized Latina activists and unsung sheroes through documentary photographs and videos. From April-May 2018: This first annual event will showcase work created by students in Casita Maria’s after-school arts http://www.haring.com/kh_foundation/is/grant_requests Page 3 of 9 Category: Grant Requests | Keith Haring 2/1/18, 2:21 PM education programs. From Aug-Sept 2018: Artist Argenis Apolinario will celebrate Hunts Point experiences and culture through documentary images and video of a year in the lives of three to five community families. Additionally the program includes the commissioning of artists to make murals, an annual summer festival that celebrates South Bronx artistic traditions and history, and a free performance series for community residents in public spaces such as local businesses and church plazas. The organization states: “For our performances, exhibitions, and arts education initiatives, we engage artists and “artivists” whose work explores the forces and attitudes impacting the community and its residents, helping their audiences view the circumstances of their lives through new perspectives. The goal is to counter the dominant, often racist, classist, sexist, or heteronormative, narrative with stories that help the community reclaim pride, strength and visibility.” Casita Maria, located in the South Bronx, offers educational support and cultural enrichment to children age 6 through college, with a mission to empower youth and their families by creating a culture of learning through social, cultural, and educational opportunities. They place artists in residence at schools to teach curriculum-informed art. Previous award of 15K issued August 31, 2015. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend partial funding for this program. There appears to be nothing exceptionally distinct about their program, their budget for exhibits includes murals which we don’t fund and their request is a big jump from our prior grant, from $15 to $50K. --Submitted on October 17, 2017 at 2:57 PM | Requests for New Programming | 1 Comment | Culture For One Kind of Support Requested: General Operations Purpose: Art, Youth Request Amount: $10,000 Summary: General operating support requested by this Manhattan-based organization that uses the arts as a vehicle to connect with youth in the foster care system, to motivate them, provide positive role models, and stimulate their aspirations.

Mount Sinai PPS Provider Survey Respondents 161 Mount Sinai PPS CNA Page 2 Executive Summary The goal of the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP) is to completely transform health care delivery for Medicaid and uninsured populations across the state. The program aims to incentivize health care systems to provide Medicaid and uninsured patients with integrated, coordinated, and preventive health care and social supports, as opposed to high-cost, avoidable emergency department and inpatient care. In short, DSRIP is a mechanism to provide a more efficient health care delivery system that reduces health care costs, while improving care quality, access to services, and ultimately result in improved health outcomes for Medicaid recipients and the uninsured population. DSRIP offers $6.4 billion in federal funds for Performing Providers Systems (PPSs), which are regional health systems. For PPSs to receive DSRIP payments, they must implement specific projects and meet each project’s corresponding benchmarks. PPSs will have to move the needle on defined outcomes for the Medicaid populations assigned to them, which is no small task. In order to advance the aims of DSRIP and the goals of the DSRIP projects, emerging PPSs are required to conduct a comprehensive Community Needs Assessment (CNA).

  • 2007 National HIV Prevention Conference December 2-5, 2007 Atlanta, Georgia Promoting Synergy Between Science and Program
    2007 National HIV Prevention Conference December 2-5, 2007 Atlanta, Georgia Promoting Synergy Between Science and Program Letter from Conference Co-Chairs December 2007 Dear Conference Participants: Welcome to the 2007 National HIV Prevention Conference. We thank you for participating and look forward to an exciting and ambitious program over the next few days. CDC estimates that over one million persons are living with HIV in the United States and that one quarter of these people are unaware of their HIV infection. In addition, the number of people living with AIDS is increasing, as effective new drug therapies keep HIV-infected persons healthy longer and dramatically reduce the death rate. The simple fact is that HIV and AIDS will not be defeated until we reduce the number of people who become infected. This requires strengthening collaboration between researchers, program practitioners, and affected communities particularly with regard to developing and promoting behavioral interventions for populations disproportionately affected by HIV. To those of you who have come recently to this challenge, we welcome you and thank you for your interest, enthusiasm, and determination. Of course we also welcome those of you who are veterans of this effort, who have persevered over the long run to find and apply science-based knowledge in order to establish and promote effective prevention programs. Together, we have the next few days to renew our commitment to HIV prevention and to share, learn, and discuss the strategies and approaches that will best help us to enhance our prevention efforts. For this year's conference we want to recognize and address the unique prevention challenges that we face today, while building on the successful approaches, promising practices, and the outcomes of previous conferences.

STRINGER COMPTROLLER Dear Friend: I am pleased to present the latest edition of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Services Guide – the most comprehensive directory of LGBTQ resources and programs in New York City. For members of the LGBTQ community, connecting to services geared towards their needs can be a challenge. Our Guide is intended to help individuals better understand the resources available, from hundreds of community organizations and health care facilities to counseling and support groups, recreational clubs, and much more. Throughout my career, I have been a strong and vocal supporter of LGBTQ rights. As an Assembly member, I was one of the first co-sponsors of a 1995 bill to enact marriage equality in the State of NewYork. When my wife and I married in 2010, we did so in Connecticut to protest New York’s continued discrimination against lesbian and gay couples. As Comptroller, I have continued to work hard to advance equality of opportunity for the LGBTQ community, and in the last year alone have succeeded in: • Implementing new Corporate Governance Principles and Proxy Voting Guidelines that expand the definition of board diversity beyond race and gender to include LGBT directors, as well as working with California’s Comptroller to encourage other fiduciaries to embrace similar policies.

  • Strategies to Improve the Health of Older Adults Living with Hiv
    STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OLDER ADULTS LIVING WITH HIV By Sean Cahill, Sophia Geffen, Samantha Marquez, and S. Wade Taylor EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Thanks to antiretroviral medications and improvements in care, people with HIV are living into their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond. Half of people living with HIV in the U.S. are age 50 or over. While this is a welcome development, growing older with HIV presents unique challenges including: • the intersection of age-related stigma, HIV stigma, anti-gay stigma, racism, and other forms of prejudice; • the lack of cultural competency on the part of health care, social service, and elder service providers to serve older adults with HIV; • sexual health promotion and HIV/STI prevention among older adults; • social isolation and lack of social support networks; • comorbidities, including heart disease, diabetes, cancers, depression and cognitive decline; • substance use, including tobacco use. Health care providers serving older People Living with HIV (PLWH), and leaders at Ryan White-funded AIDS service organizations (ASOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) serving this population, can take steps to ensure that older PLWH feel welcome at their institution and receive supportive, affirming services. Five key steps include: 1. Train all staff in the unique needs and experiences of older people living with HIV 2. Screen and treat for comorbidities, depression, and cognitive decline 3. Screen for substance use, including tobacco use, and promote treatment 4. Promote sexual health and HIV/STI prevention with this population 5. Strengthen social support networks and reduce social isolation Older PLWH exhibit a great deal of resiliency and strength.

This year’s Guide includes information for well over 100 community groups offering LGBTQ-led and -centered services, from health care and counseling to arts and social networks.

DUE: 06/15/16: $100,000 (this marks the third and final of three payments for $100,000 each) PAID: 04/11/14: $100,000 PAID: 06/18/15: $100,000 ORIGINAL APPLICATION DESCRIPTION BELOW: –APPROVED REMOTELY BY KHF BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON APRIL 11, 2014– Dear Board Members: We have been approached about a rare opportunity to help support a program addressing the role of the arts in public schools on a national scale. While I am sensitive to some recent input regarding not funding only arts programming in schools, and a general trend of ours to fund locally, I hope that you will give this unique opportunity serious consideration. Turnaround Arts is a program of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities. This is a national program that seeks to establish new standards for, transform the climate of, and reinforce opportunities within low-performing schools in the United States. Turnaround Arts is not a grassroots initiative, it is a landmark program designed to establish a new precedent for engaging underserved youth through the arts, in an effort to improve student performance and change the culture of all American schools. To provide our support to this program is to align ourselves with these priorities. Furthermore, it’s an opportunity to leverage our exposure on a broad scale by showcasing our support, in eminent company, on Turnaround Arts’ program materials.
