Blue Ridge Foundation New York

Blue Ridge Foundation New York identifies innovative ideas with high-potential for social impact and helps transform them into effective, enduring institutions. Our mission is to further equal opportunity and social mobility by helping to develop strategies that connect people in high poverty communities to the opportunities, resources, and support they need to fulfill their full potential.

The Foundation operates as an incubator, providing start-up nonprofit organizations with critical resources including funding, space in our offices, performance management tools, a network of professionals, and hands-on assistance from Blue Ridge staff. Our extensive and active support accelerates the development and achievements of New York City’s most promising new organizations.
