FEATURED PARTNER

NYC KIDS RISE

In 2016, the Gray Foundation announced a $10 million commitment to establish NYC Kids RISE. NYC Kids RISE works to expand economic opportunity and equity by providing families, schools and communities with a way to work together to save for their children's education. The organization provides scholarship accounts for every eligible student entering kindergarten, empowers families with the tools and information to develop their own college savings plans, and partners with the NYC Department of Education to provide financial literacy training in the classroom.

Children with college savings of
$1-$499 are 3X more
likely to attend college and
4X more likely to graduate.

At-risk students who have access
to the arts in or out of school
have better academic results,
better workforce opportunities,
and more civic engagement.

Participating in school sports
