Funding Resources
These organizations help pay for eligible schools that are clients of Richmond Tours.
NYC youth and school organizations
These groups may help pay for activities at eligible Richmond Tours schools through youth programs, community schools, and school partnerships. An organization may only be able to fund activities at schools it already serves.
Fund for New York City Public Schools
Formerly Fund for Public Schools. Manages school-based gifts and grants. Schools can ask about available grant opportunities or donor-supported school initiatives. Its NYC Represents grant is currently unavailable.
Grand Street Settlement
Operates youth and school programs. Schools can ask about funding through an existing partnership or a school-based program.
East Side House Settlement
Supports elementary and middle-school programming. A better fit for a school-program partnership than for an unrestricted grant request.
Replications, Inc.
Provides academic enrichment and community-school support. Schools can ask whether they can participate in a funded program or use enrichment resources.
YABC — Young Adult Borough Centers
An NYCPS educational program, not a grantmaking organization. Questions are handled by the specific center a school already works with.
New York Edge
Runs programs in schools. Principals can ask about bringing New York Edge programs to their school.
Good Shepherd Services

Henry Street Settlement
Education and community social work, including school enrichment in Lower Manhattan.
