Programs described in its return (3)
- $269,832 spent. Emergent Works: PPLs partnership with Emergent Works, Serving Justice-Impacted Communities strengthened its foundation through intentional growth and capacity-building initiatives that aligned with our mission to close digital literacy and racial wealth gaps. In 2024, the initiative maintained its flagship programs supporting just-impacted communities with an internal focus on staff/leadership Development and operational efficiency. 70% of T.RAP participants complete the program, achieving key milestones such as conducting research, creating original music, developing a website, building a resume, setting up an Upwork profile, and participating in a public performance.
- $82,419 spent. Other programs:PPL continues to maintain a small portfolio of programs led by grassroots nonprofit leaders. Longstanding programs like GROW Externships, Seeds to Soil, and Design Dream Lab continued their programming throughout 2024. Newer initiatives continued to develop their programming like Earthlings.NYC (organizing their 2nd annual NYC Charity Turtle Race and new invertebrate zoology education programs) and Our Secret Ingredient is Love (organizing educational, participatory, plant-based food events through the lens of important cultural holidays such as Lunar New Year, Tombsweeping Day, and Diwali).
- $51,758 spent. Our Collective Becoming:OCB continues its programming focused around social repair: co-creating a web of belonging in a time of intensified grief and accelerating forms of collapse and devastation: climate grief, interpersonal grief, accelerating global violence, moral devastation, symbolic devastation, the collapse of our political order, and the violence of our reigning economic order. Through community dinners, speaking engagements, and facilitated mutual aid networks, OCB continued to build on its mission of imagining and bring to life another world through a politics of en conjunto, or togetherness.
