Welcome to our #11 x 11 team page!

Welcome to our #11 x 11 team page!

For more than 30 years, the Harlem Educational Activities Fund (HEAF), has helped children and families bridge economic and educational disparities with academic enrichment, social and emotional development, mentoring, career exposure, and college prep. HEAF has a long-standing track record of delivering strong, permanent outcomes in excess of NYC and national averages.  100% of HEAF students graduate high school on time and are admitted into college.


HEAF's programs and support have been even more essential during the COVID-19 pandemic, as NYC’s underserved populations were disproportionally affected by an educational crisis fueled by the digital divide.  HEAF’s staff provide students and families with engaging programs and individualized support. In addition to exceptional virtual programming, with classes and activities like Students in Action, Learning for Social Impact, Graphic Design, Youth Development, Chess and Industry Immersion career exposure and mentoring, HEAF also ensures social justice is addressed in class discussions so students have opportunities to express their opinions and share their concerns in a safe space.


HEAF makes an 11-year commitment to its students, beginning in the 6th grade and staying with them all the way through college graduation.


What can you do to help? It costs HEAF $5,000 to help fund the cost of educating one child for the entire year, giving them the gift of a game-changing educational and life experience.


A gift of $11 can help provide one book for our One HEAF, One Book Program.

A gift of $55 helps fund upper-level math instruction for our students.

A gift of $111 can support HEAF's middle school arts program, exposing students to a world-class visual and cultural arts.

A gift of $250 can equip our middle school and high school students with exceptional STEAM electives.

A gift of $500 helps support entrepreneurship classes that include 1:1 mentoring, career exploration, and network building

A gift of $1,000 helps HEAF guide High School Juniors on new ways to experience college tours and prepare them for the college entry process.

A gift of $5,000 can help fund the cost of educating one child for the entire year, giving them the gift of a game-changing educational and life experience.


Let's reach our $55,000 goal - in 11 days. #HEAF11X11 TOGETHER it will be done!
