Initiative Highlights

Civic Innovation supports Mayor's Fund’s ongoing operations and our ability to advance key City initiatives including expanding career pathways for youth, supportive services, and emergency relief.
Diversity in Journalism Fund, launched in July 2023, will support the next generation of journalists and ensure that our newsrooms are as diverse as they communities they cover. Donations will support scholarships for New York City students of color to pursue a career in journalism.
Pathways to an Inclusive Economy, is a strategy developed by New York City Public Schools, The City University of New York, and the Department of Youth and Community Development alongside NYC Talent, to ensure that all young New Yorkers reach adulthood well-prepared for career success.
Medical Debt Relief Program, in partnership with Undue Medical Debt, will relieve medical debt for up to 500,000 working-class New Yorkers. Medical debt disproportionately affects uninsured, under-insured, and low-income households.
NYC Soccer Initiative 2.0 is New York City's World Cup Legacy Project—a public-private partnership led by the Mayor's Fund and the New York City Football Club, in partnership with the NYC Department of Education—to build, program, and maintain 26 new mini-soccer pitches in under-resourced neighborhoods by 2026.
Homecoming of Heroes: Ticker Tape Parade will be a historic tribute recognizing the extraordinary service, sacrifice, and resilience of a generation that bore the weight of America’s longest war. This celebration will be the first time New York City, and this nation, formally recognize veterans of the Global War on Terror with a parade down the famed Canyon of Heroes.
