  • July 8 Grants Press Release
    CITY PARKS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 109 GRANTS THROUGH NYC GREEN RELIEF & RECOVERY FUND AND GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC GRANT APPLICATION NOW OPEN FOR PARK VOLUNTEER GROUPS Funding Awarded For Maintenance and Stewardship of Parks by Nonprofit Organizations and For Free Live Performances in Parks, Plazas, and Gardens Across NYC July 8, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY - City Parks Foundation announced today the selection of 109 grants through two competitive funding opportunities - the NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund and GREEN / ARTS LIVE NYC. More than ever before, New Yorkers have come to rely on parks and open spaces, the most fundamentally democratic and accessible of public resources. Parks are critical to our city’s recovery and reopening – offering fresh air, recreation, and creativity - and a crucial part of New York’s equitable economic recovery and environmental resilience. These grant programs will help to support artists in hosting free, public performances and programs in parks, plazas, and gardens across NYC, along with the nonprofit organizations that help maintain many of our city’s open spaces. Both grant programs are administered by City Parks Foundation. The NYC Green Relief & Recovery Fund will award nearly $2M via 64 grants to NYC-based small and medium-sized nonprofit organizations. Grants will help to support basic maintenance and operations within heavily-used parks and open spaces during a busy summer and fall with the city’s reopening. Notable projects supported by this fund include the Harlem Youth Gardener Program founded during summer 2020 through a collaboration between Friends of Morningside Park Inc., Friends of St. Nicholas Park, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, & Jackie Robinson Park Conservancy to engage neighborhood youth ages 14-19 in paid horticulture along with the Bronx River Alliance’s EELS Youth Internship Program and Volunteer Program to invite thousands of Bronxites to participate in stewardship of the parks lining the river banks.

  • Chinatown: a Taste of China in New York City
    Chinatown: A Taste of China in New York City Historical Overview Chinatown in New York City was the second Chinatown created after the one made in San Francisco, California. Similar to the first one, Chinatown was originally a place for Chinese immigrants to come to after getting off their long journey on the ships. Originally the Chinese immigrants came to the West in hopes of getting a quick fortune from the Gold Rush or earning money from working on the Transcontinental Railroad. However, they soon realized that there was no potential to obtain wealth or to gain a job since the railroad was completed. They began to work for low wages at textile or cigarette making factories. However, since these immigrants were working at drastically lower prices, Americans were unable to get a job. This caused tension to grow and the Chinese faced increasing discrimination and violence (Waxman par.2-4). To escape these hardships, a majority of Chinese immigrants began to move towards the East Coast. These immigrants typically lived in the slums of the Five Points and the boundary of New York. By staying together, they would be able to support each other and separate themselves from the rest of society to live their own lives. As a result of not assimilating and stealing jobs, the U.S. government enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This diminished the number of Chinese immigrants who could come to the United States unless they had a special permit to enter. This caused the Chinese immigrants to become devastated because they could not bring their family relatives or friends to join them in the United States.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2016 DYNAMISM Vision
    力 度 ANNUAL REPORT 2016 DYNAMISM Vision To be the Model Service and Leadership Development Organization. Mission Founded in 1965, the Chinese-American Planning Council, Inc. (CPC) is one of the largest nonprofit providers of educational, social, and community services for Asian Americans in the United States. Today, CPC serves over 8,000 people a day through over 50 programs and 30+ locations citywide - administering community services, early childhood and school-age child care services, youth services, workforce development, and senior services. In addition, CPC’s affiliates and associated entities provide housing and home attendant services. CPC’s mission is to serve the Chinese American, immigrant and low-income communities in New York City by providing services, skills, and resources towards economic self-sufficiency. DYNAMISM The principle of dynamism is at the heart of CPC’s past year, signifying a year of vigorous activity and progress in reaching our growing community of in-need New Yorkers with transformative programs and continuing our legacy of service. Over fifty years ago, CPC’s founders provided resources to first generation immigrants in Manhattan’s Chinatown who needed help learning English, navigating the job market, and taking care of their children while they worked to integrate into the American mainstream. Today, while many of these underlying needs remain the same, the range of challenges facing our constituents has evolved. Asian populations across NYC are growing dramatically, with Chinese groups growing 38%. Our low-income and immigrant families come from increasingly diverse Jenny Low geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds and speak many different Board Chair languages.

    NY@Night 1st Edition.qxd 8/21/2006 1:15 PM Page 109 NY@Night 1st Edition.qxd 8/21/2006 1:15 PM Page 110 Originally a commercial district not designated for residential housing, the 17 name SoHo was coined by developers to 8 refer to the neighborhood South of 34 Houston Street. 14 24 16 1 21 However, SoHo is not just a geographical location, 2 it is a statement, in which residents and visitors alike proudly stake a claim to being a part of this 19 37 20 13 36 international hotbed of fashion and art.

The same lofts once prized for their location, are no longer inexpensive. The escalated cost of living is now forcing up-and- coming artists to flee to Neo-Bohemian enclaves like Williamsburg in Brooklyn, eroding SoHo’s cutting-edge reputation. The area’s established 22 15 chic character, however, is firmly embedded. 28 Bordering SoHo and the Lower East Side, Little Italy remains the heart of New York’s Old World 11 Italian culture — a character slowly being whittled 12 away by time. This is where it all started. The turn- of-the-century flood of Italian immigrants into the area’s cramped tenements that were the launching pad from which they have achieved great heights.
