    About Abny Foundation

    Abny Foundation Inc has a clear pattern of backing small-to-midsize New York City nonprofits at a fairly consistent $10,000 level, with awards reaching as high as $15,000 in the recent grants list. Its giving is tied to place-based work across the five boroughs and often supports organizations working on economic opportunity, civic engagement, workforce development, and community programming. Recent grants show that the foundation funds both service providers and civic or cultural groups, from Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning in Jamaica to Urban Justice Center in New York and Brooklyn-based groups such as Brooklyn Workforce Innovations and The Hope Program. The foundation’s grantmaking suggests a preference for direct support to local organizations rather than large, multi-state bets. It has funded groups working with jobseekers, entrepreneurs, neighborhood residents, and community institutions, including awards to Grace Institute, Coro New York Leadership Center, and Fort Greene Park Conservancy. The World Cup For All Community Grant Program adds another layer, linking neighborhood programming and youth engagement to a citywide event. Across the recent record, Abny Foundation Inc appears focused on practical local improvements in New York City through modest, targeted grants.

    What Abny Foundation Funds

    Economic opportunity is a central theme in Abny Foundation Inc’s giving. In 2024, it gave $10,000 to The Acceleration Project (tap) in Scarsdale for small business support, and in 2023 it gave $15,000 to Regional Plan Association in New York for the same area. The foundation also supports workforce and career pathways: grants went to Grace Institute, Brooklyn Workforce Innovations (aka Leap), and Riverside Language Program Inc for workforce development. Civic engagement is another recurring priority. The foundation’s 2026 grant programs explicitly name civic engagement alongside economic opportunity, and the recent grants list includes support for Coro New York Leadership Center. Cultural and community-facing work also appears in the record through Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, Multicultural Music Group, and Queens Economic Development Corporation, each funded for arts, culture, or entertainment-related purposes.

    How Abny Foundation Gives

    Abny Foundation Inc gives in small, steady increments. The typical award is $10,000 at both the median and third quartile, while the first quartile sits at $5,000, showing a floor of modest community grants and a main clustering point at $10,000. Recent awards also include $15,000 grants, but the pattern is dominated by round-number support. The grant record points to repeated support for some organizations across multiple years, including Urban Dove, Andromeda Community Initiative, Coro New York Leadership Center, Queens Economic Development Corporation, and Urban Justice Center. The foundation funds local nonprofits rather than individuals and does not make program-related investments. It also accepts unsolicited applications through its active grant programs.
