PASE believes all kids deserve a safe, nurturing space during out-of-school time where they have opportunities to explore their passions while connecting with and learning from caring adults. We exist to improve the quality of afterschool programs for children and teens living in poverty.
The Partnership for After School Education Inc. consistently directs support to summer programming for New York City youth, with repeated grants to the same community organizations across 2023 and 2024. The largest recent awards in the record are $15,000 grants to Elite Learner's in Brooklyn and $12,000 grants to Flanbwayan Haitian Literacy Projects, also in Brooklyn, both described as support for their summer program. That pattern points to a funder centered on out-of-school-time enrichment rather than broad, multi-issue philanthropy. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backs neighborhood-based groups that work with children and teens, including afterschool-adjacent education, arts, and youth development providers. Several recipients appear in both years, suggesting a steady annual cycle of support rather than one-off awards. The funding amounts cluster in a relatively narrow band, which fits a local grantmaker making direct program support for seasonal or short-term initiatives. The Partnership for After School Education Inc. operates with annual grants of $180,000 and total assets of $3,080,090, and its recent giving shows a clear focus on helping organizations deliver structured summer experiences for school-age youth in New York City.
Summer learning is the clearest theme in the recent record. The Partnership for After School Education Inc. gave $10,000 to Dream in New York, NY to support its summer program, and $8,000 to Art Start in New York, NY for the same purpose. Arts and creative youth development also appear in the grant list. Building Beats in Brooklyn received $10,000 for its summer program, while Drama Club in Long Island City received $10,000 for its summer program in 2024 and again in 2023. The foundation also supports literacy and college-oriented youth work. Barbershop Books in New York, NY received $7,500 to support its summer program, and Youth Design Center Inc in New York, NY received $7,500 for its summer program in both 2023 and 2024.
Typical grants sit in a tight range: p25 is $8,000, median is $10,000, and p75 is $10,000. That concentration suggests a fairly standardized approach to annual program support. The record also shows repeat awards to the same recipients across multiple years, including several organizations that received funding in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The recent grants are framed as direct support for summer programming rather than unrestricted institutional awards.
