We are a cross-cultural alliance of women catalyzing partnerships and leveraging human and financial capital to achieve sustained economic security and justice for women and girls. With fierce determination, we mobilize hearts, minds and resources to create an equitable and just future for women, families and communities in New York City. Supporters 46 Donors 56 With Appreciation 1 A Message from the Board Chair and President and CEO May 8, 2014 On behalf of all of us at The New York Women’s Foundation, we thank you for all that you are doing now and have done in the past to bring us to this year, 2014, one of the best ever for The New York Women’s Foundation. On May 8th at our signature breakfast event, we proudly honored several extraordinary women; one, an icon in the history of gender equality, Gloria Steinem, and two other formidable and exemplary leaders: Jessamyn Rodriguez, the visionary founder of Hot Bread Kitchen, whose workforce development approach to her business has made careers possible for a great number of immigrant women in New York City, and Soffiyah Elijah, accomplished advocate, attorney, educator, and the first woman and the first person of color to lead the nearly 170-year old Correctional Association of New York. Ms. Elijah has dedicated her life to human rights and social activism, working to create a fairer and more humane criminal justice system. We were also honored with a special appearance by Judy Collins, the legendary folk singer and activist, which heightened the importance of this amazing convening, the 27th Annual New York Women’s Foundation Celebrating Women Breakfast. These historically important women leaders, our grantee partners, and others like them inspire us every day to work to create a safer, healthier, more just and economically vibrant world. Just as Ms. Steinem broke ground 50 years ago to eliminate boundaries and create opportunity for women through her activism and advocacy, NYWF continues the battle for economic justice for women and families in New York City. In 2014 we will grant an unprecedented $5.5 million to more than 80 community-based, women-led organizations, making us the 7th largest philanthropic funder* in New York City of training and employment placement. The Foundation responded in both concrete and innovative ways to the challenges presented in 2013. We awarded a second, and even more

First time I was on this campus was almost fifty years ago as a graduate student, and there is no greater space than this particular room in our city of New York. It is an honor for me President of the Board of New York City Global Partners to welcome everybody here today. This summit, as you heard from Rob, marks the 5th Global Partners summit that Columbia has co‐ sponsored and we greatly value our relationship with this extraordinarily world‐class university. We also would like to thank the World Bank who joins us as a co‐sponsor, and this event would not have happened without the generous support of GE. And I do say very generous support. Jeff, it is wonderful. A special welcome to the thirteen or fourteen City Commissioners and deputy mayors who are with us today. We’re always delighted to have so many members of the city administration join us for these summits. Today marks the10th Global Partners summit convened by the Bloomberg Administration.

Byron wrote the following paper about a significant archaeological discovery. Read Byron’s paper and think about the revisions he should make. Then answer the questions that follow. Lost City Discovered (1) There was once a grand city on the northeast coast of the Mediterranean Sea near Egypt. (2) Known as Thonis to the Egyptians and Heracleion to the Greeks, the metropolis was supposedly one of extraordinary wealth. (3) Some records indicate that Helen of Troy visited the area before the Trojan War. (4) Founded around 700 B.C., it thrived for centuries and then allegedly disappeared into the depths of the ocean. (5) However, because no trace of Thonis-Heracleion had ever been found, it became more of a legend than a reality. (6) In 2000, French archaeologist Franck Goddio and a team of researchers were meticulously surveying an area in the Mediterranean near the Egyptian shore. (7) They hoped to find proof that the legendary city existed. (8) As divers sifted through layers of sand and mud, they discovered some extraordinarily well-preserved relics of an ancient city. (9) It was Thonis-Heracleion. (10) In cooperation with the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, Goddio’s team began to carefully survey and excavate the underwater city.

H&G6-10-Tu1 The Birth of American Imperialism Leader - Ron Levy Tuesday – Course Period 1 – 9:00 a.m. to 10:25 a.m. Description Five U.S. Presidents in a 20-year period, from Harrison to Taft, embarked on active territorial incursions and international strategies that had significant implications for our foreign policy in the 20th century. James Bradley in his book, The Imperial Cruise levels serious accusations of a racist leadership that pursued an American Aryan philosophy as it “followed the sun to the West.” Although a lauded historian, he wrote this book in more of a journalistic style which makes for enjoyable and often surprising reading. Reviews have been both favorable and critical of his controversial treatment of the subject. How legitimate are Bradley’s claims? What is the background to our territorial incursions in Asia-Pacific, and to what extent were they an extension of our similar activities in the Americas? How did they relate to the concurrent activities of other major powers? To what extent were our actions examples of regime change or of nation building? What were some of the positive and negative outcomes of our policies? Did some of our actions really lead to World War II in the Pacific? We will examine the then-recent history of Hawai’i, Cuba, Panama, the Philippines, China, Korea and Japan, and the U.S.’s relations with those countries, as the U.S.
  • A Sense of Place: a Short History of Women's Philanthropy in America

    A Sense of Place: a Short History of Women's Philanthropy in America

    A Sense of Place: A Short History of Women’s Philanthropy in America Many people perceive that philanthropy is the provenance of rich, white men like Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller, and Bill Gates – highly visible leaders whose activities made headlines. Yet, philanthropy, defined for this course as “voluntary action for the public good,” includes large and small financial contributions and contributions of time and talent from all people – men and women alike. When inquisitive students of history ask about comparable experiences for women, we uncover textured and vibrant stories that provide a richer understanding of American philanthropic history. Philanthropy provides a lustrous, multi-hued backdrop to explore how women, often perceived as invisible throughout periods of the republic‟s history, helped shape civil society in America, that space between the private and public spheres. When seen through economic, legal, social, cultural, religious, and political lenses, women‟s rich and varied philanthropic expressions from the very beginnings of this country‟s history to today, contribute new perspective to our understanding of a “true vision of a democratic society.” (Conway, 171) A single strand cannot tell the whole story historically any more than it can today. To overlook how women in different classes, races, ethnicities, and religious backgrounds sought to effect social change is to miss the rich kaleidoscopic ways in which women engaged in voluntary associations and philanthropic work in America. The philanthropic work of women must be examined in conjunction with the great themes in American history, especially during the nineteenth century with the Great Awakening, Civil War, rise of industrialization, immigration, urban growth, expansion of education, and suffrage movements.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
