The NYC Haitian Community Hope & Healing Fund was established by the Brooklyn Community Foundation and the United Way of New York City to address the short- and long-term needs of Haitian American New Yorkers affected by the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti.

The fund is designed to provide financial support and critical resources to local nonprofit organizations that are attuned to the needs of their neighborhoods. In general, the fund will focus on building strength in local nonprofit organizations so they can most effectively serve the anticipated increased number of people needing assistance with immigration, grief and trauma counseling, acculturation, English language acquisition, and educational services.

The fund will award grants of up to $50,000 for one year. The fund’s total grantmaking in Round I will not exceed $200,000. Depending on the availability of additional funds, a Round II opportunity will be announced by late spring 2010.

Applications will be accepted from nonprofit organizations and organizations with nonprofit fiscal sponsors.
