Overview
Nuts and Bolts was a $2.2 million, three-year program designed to improve physical, mental and oral health outcomes for children in selected communities of poverty in western and central New York. Through this program, we provided strategic investments to organizations committed to, and capable of, increased accountability for outcomes.
By issuing one of our first-ever Request for Proposals, we wanted to reach out to those organizations serving children in zip codes with the most concentrated number of children living in poverty in western and central New York, and organizations striving to achieve a culture and infrastructure that was driven by outcomes, quality and ongoing evaluation and improvement.
Results
Our targeted investments in the 16 Nuts and Bolts grantee partner organizations generated a significant and lasting return towards improving the lives of children in communities of poverty in our communities.
