Seeks to increase meaningful access for New Yorkers to quality programs, institutions, and resources, both public and private;
Encourages system-wide improvement and change while at the same time maintaining our tradition of direct service and the opportunity to test models in action;
Prefers to support preventive and early intervention strategies;
Supports efforts that help New Yorkers build and preserve self-sufficiency;
Encourages innovation and funds programs and organizations that provide high-quality services based on best practices in their field and that exercise systematic efforts to track credible and meaningful results; and
Has an interest in supporting programs that serve vulnerable populations, in particular children and youth from underserved communities, immigrants, and the elderly.
