Pretend With Us to Make Real Change

Since 1916, Grand St. Settlement has empowered New Yorkers through essential programs for children and families. 



This year, we provided early childhood education for 841 children, engaged 6,300 youth in STEAM activities, and served 40,000 meals to older adults experiencing hunger and isolation.




Now, we’re expanding our impact with new Head Start programs for 583 more children, bringing our total to over 1,400 preschoolers. Six new centers will open in the Bronx, along with one in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park, and 17 partnerships supporting local family child care providers.


Head Start changes the lives of our participants, boosting their graduation rates, health, and future success. With your support, we can continue this life-changing work in 2025 and beyond.




Your contribution will help foster connections in our community centers, create new opportunities for young learners, and provide vital support to children and families in the neighborhoods we serve.


Your “ticket” is 100% tax-deductible and supports our vital services. Join the “Let’s Pretend Ball” today! 




Grand St. Settlement is a highly-accredited 501c3 organization.
