First and Family Fund
Corporate Sponsorship
Mission: The First and Family Fund expands access to high-quality academic enrichment and college-readiness programming for students who are the first in their families to pursue higher education.
Current Awards & Recognition: The First and Family Fund is a recipient of a New York State grant and a New York City Council Discretionary Grant supporting afterschool program access. These competitive public awards affirm the Fund’s program quality, fiscal stewardship, and compliance capacity.
Why Partner Now
Leverage public investment: Your sponsorship complements existing state and city support to reach more students without supplanting public funds.
Expand access: Sponsorships subsidize tuition and enrichment costs so eligible students can enroll in afterschool and college-readiness programming.
Auditable impact: Funds are tracked to student participation, dosage (hours), and outcomes, with donor-ready and audit-ready reporting.
