SI COAD is launching two new public awareness campaigns to build awareness and provide information and resources surrounding mental health and the symptoms of climate change and weather related disasters. These campaigns will each live on nonprofitstatenisland.org on their own respective webpages and will include email blasts/social media posts with resources, trainings, and information sharing. All SI COAD coalition partners and Nonprofit Staten Island members are encouraged to share resources as we aggregate and organize for Staten Island.

As a reminder, SI COAD provides PPE and test kits to all who are interested. We offer KN95, N95, rapid test kits, hand sanitizer, and disinfectant wipes. Please email frank@sinfpa.org directly with inquiries. We can provide large and small allotments.

The kindergarten application is open!

In New York City, children enter kindergarten in the fall of the calendar year they turn five, and are guaranteed a kindergarten seat at a public school. Once your child starts kindergarten, they can remain at the same school until its final elementary grade. Watch video series to learn more about kindergarten admissions.

Applications are open for the 2023 Cause Effective Fellows Program, designed for professionals of color in fundraising!

The Cause Effective Fellows Program arose from Cause Effective’s “Money, Power and Race: The Lived Experience of Fundraisers of Color” report (2018), which reflects participants’ experience that while diversity matters in the nonprofit sector, people of color need to be skilled not only with fundraising acumen, but also have the awareness and tools to navigate the intersectional dynamics of power, race and class that are endemic to fundraising encounters. The program is designed for mid-career Development Directors who self-identify as a person of color across various spectrums of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, ability, and socio-economic class, to build their capacity as fundraising professionals and develop their leadership within the organizations they serve.

1. This program requires full commitment from participants and a statement of support from their Executive Directors. You can download a copy of the required statement of support here.

4. Completed applications will be due on January 20th and applicants will be notified of their acceptance by January 30th.
