Grant Opportunities | New York Life Foundation Providing philanthropic leadership in the communities we serve We are dedicated to engaging with the communities where we live and work—most often in direct alignment with our overall grantmaking concentration areas, childhood bereavement and educational enhancement. Our local grants, Grief Reach and Aim High, are extensions of our national initiatives.

They reach new partners each year, as the need for resources for grieving children and the desire to make the most of out-of-school hours grows. Local engagement is at the heart of our philanthropy and to that end, we support our employees and agents with grant opportunities where they have the most passion. <span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Details about our grantmaking and workplace grants.

We help build academic foundations for middle schoolers during the critical out-of-school hours in order to prepare them for their transition to high school. We help raise awareness around the importance of supporting children and families who have experienced the death of a close loved one and invest in resources to assist them in their time of need.

In addition to our national initiatives supporting bereavement and education, we strive to support local and grassroots organizations making a big difference in our communities. If our workforce is volunteering or supporting your nonprofit or school, learn about grant opportunities to support your work. Our Grief-Sensitive Schools Initiative</h2>\r\n<p>When it comes to grief support at school, many educators feel underprepared to help.

In fact, according to a recent survey by the New York Life Foundation and American Federation of Teachers, ninety-two percent of educators think that there should be a greater focus on training educators to support grieving students, and ninety-one percent say that they personally would be interested in participating in bereavement training offered through their school or district.
