BRONX:
Creates
a
Rich
Borough
Ai-jen Poo |
Ai-jen Poo is special projects director at NYWF grantee CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities and an organizer with Domestic Workers United.
Every borough of New York City has its own unique history of
artistic invention, spatial development, and community life.
The Bronx is no exception: it’s the birthplace of contemporary
salsa and hip-hop; it contains a rich mix of ethnic groups,
including a large Southeast Asian population; and has seen
the creation of over 66,000 housing units in the last ten years.
In addition, the Bronx is a place with a powerful tradition of
giving and community work. According to a recent Chronicle
of Philanthropy study, the Bronx is the second most generous
county in the United States – people there give away 23% of their
income. This is in a county that contains the poorest Congressional
district in the country. There is also a wealth of community
organizations that contribute to the vibrancy and strength of the
Bronx by developing well-maintained affordable housing, arts
and culture programs for the borough’s youth, and economic
development programs, among other things. Bronx residents,
by giving their time and money back to the borough, have revitalized their neighborhoods and sparked an exciting renaissance.
The New York Women’s Foundation works with a number of community groups active in the Bronx. NYWF has funded a wide variety
of programs over the past eighteen years. Among them are many
groups that focus on housing and economic development, two
fundamental matters that affect the quality of life in the borough.
HOUSING
Negative stereotypes about the Bronx continue to exist because of
its high-profile housing challenges. In a series of fires during the
1970s, over 40 percent of the housing stock was lost. More than
300,000 people, or approximately half the Bronx’s population,
left the borough during this time. As Nancy Biberman, president
of the Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation
(WHEDCO), put it, the absence of housing infrastructure meant
a lack of people, which led to the closing of institutions like
schools and firehouses. In the late 1980s, a number of groups,
including WHEDCO, began to rebuild housing, partnering with
the city to rehabilitate the beautiful and sturdy buildings that had
been abandoned during the ’70s. According to Bronx borough
president Adolfo Carrion, Jr., over 66,000 new housing units
have been created during the past 10 years. Nancy Biberman says
that now many housing issues in the Bronx revolve around
accessibility and affordability of housing, similar to New York
City’s other boroughs.
Grassroots organizations in the Bronx work to address housing
concerns by maintaining and developing affordable housing.
NYWF-supported groups organize residents to work with
landlords, the City, and each other with the end goal of keeping
housing in the Bronx livable. The Northwest Bronx Community
and Clergy Coalition (NWBCCC) brings together and builds
strong tenant associations in apartment buildings in the area,
so they can press landlords and the city to maintain decent
affordable housing. These tenant associations go on to address
other issues that affect their neighborhoods, like better education
options and safer streets. Mothers on the Move is another group
that focuses on housing and takes a decentralized approach. They
organize tenant associations in 15 different Bronx neighborhoods
to work with landlords, the City, and federal agencies to ensure
that low-income housing in the Bronx is kept in good condition.
Grassroots organizing brings together residents as a powerful
group to ensure the continued stability of housing in the Bronx.
However, the task is not always straightforward. Because many
of the older buildings were built from the 1920s to the 1940s,
renovation of existing affordable housing is a major concern in
the Bronx. NWBCC and other community groups are working
on an innovative solution, called the Right to Repair Bill.

The Foundation’s grant awards are our boldest statement about what we believe. This year, with
your support, the NYWF has awarded $1,050,000 to 40 New York City organizations that respond
directly to community needs. Eleven of them are first-time grantees. They are organizations offering
access to healthcare, teaching life and business skills, connecting marginalized women and girls to
networks of support, and providing a means for joining together in collective voice. Our grantees
are working to ensure that crucial needs are addressed so that all women of New York City have the
tools they need to create their own path to sustained economic security. It is the greatest pleasure
to add my voice to theirs and to acknowledge and support their inspiring work.
It is also my great pleasure to welcome Hollis Cohen, our new executive director, to the Foundation.
Hollis is a life-long New Yorker with many years of non-profit management experience. She brings
to us in-depth knowledge of our issues and a great heart, and we are already enjoying her confident
leadership. I encourage you to seek her out and learn more about developing the activist and
philanthropist within you.

he day I attended my first Celebrating Women® Breakfast was the day I was transformed into
an activist and philanthropist, but I didn’t know it then. Certainly, my modest contributions
and shy support did not embody the traditional definitions of those terms. But today, as The New
York Women’s Foundation’s newest president, I can proudly say that I am both an activist and a
philanthropist, because I have come to understand that when we join together to celebrate with
our grantees, we are speaking powerfully about our beliefs and connecting fundamentally with
the work of courageous trailblazers.

NYWF Welcomes Hollis Cohen as Its New Executive Director
Hollis (Holly) Cohen, a recognized leader in the field of nonprofit management, comes to the Foundation with
20 years of experience in strategic development and fund-raising for nationally recognized organizations working
with underserved populations.
Before joining NYWF, she was Lighthouse International’s Vice President for Development and later served as
their Vice President for Technology Enterprises and Special Assistant to the President for Program Development.
At the Lighthouse, Holly developed and funded cutting-edge initiatives to ensure access to new technologies
for those who are blind or visually impaired. Through innovative partnerships in the public and private sectors,
she developed new resources and millions of dollars in new revenue to further advocacy efforts aimed at ensuring
equality and inclusion in the workplace, school, and community for disabled individuals of all ages.
Holly developed some of the first “cause-marketing” campaigns, bridging corporate marketing interests with
not-for-profit fund development and advocacy goals. She consulted to American Express on its “Charge Against
Hunger” campaign. For the Association for a Better New York, she developed the first co-op coupon program to
support the city’s cultural institutions. Holly has consulted on strategic planning, fund-raising, programming, and
organizational transition to women-focused programs, including Women at Risk, the high-risk breast cancer program
at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center; to international micro-lending and health projects; to the American Red
Cross in Greater New York; and to the Raoul Wallenberg Committee of the United States, among others.
She began her nonprofit career at Citymeals-on-Wheels, where she ultimately served as executive director,
developing model programs in order to provide annual funding to over one hundred community organizations
across the city, thereby exponentially expanding meal delivery and provision of emergency food supplies to the
frail and homebound elderly. During her tenure, she oversaw the organization’s move from a program of the
New York City Department of the Aging to an independent nonprofit in “public/private” partnership with the city.
Holly holds a Master of Education from Boston University and a Bachelor of Arts from the State University
of New York at Albany. T H E F O U N D AT I O N I S H A P P Y T O W E L C O M E H O L LY !
Celebrating Women 2004 Honors
Trailblazers

by Brennan Gang, Program Assistant
Anna Kournikova, Billie Jean King, and Emcee Candice Bergen
At the 17th annual Celebrating Women® Breakfast on May 6,
over 2,300 people joined The New York Women’s Foundation
in honoring women who have blazed a trail in their fields of
endeavor and in their own lives, exemplifying this year’s theme,
Courageous Trailblazers.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg launched the event by congratulating
the 40 NYWF grantee organizations, saying they “represent what
is wonderful about our city.” These agencies received $1.05 million
in total grants from the Foundation for their grassroots work on
behalf of low-income women and girls of New York City.
His Honor then introduced the “other” Mayor of New York,
albeit in a movie, the actress Candice Bergen. Bergen, the
morning’s emcee, reflected on her own obstacles to success
during her years on the popular ’90s show Murphy Brown –
including a little incident with a vice president.
In addition to these three amazing women,
the Foundation honored the two most visible
trailblazers in the room, the morning’s
awardees. The Celebrating Women Award,

Humor aside, Bergen presented three NYWF grantee representatives, who were blazing a trail for themselves and for others,
with grant support for their organizations from the Foundation.
Oona Chatterjee, the co-director of Make the Road by Walking,
spoke about the success that can be achieved when good people
work together. Sandra Penaranda, a native of Ecuador, spoke
through her translator about her dream of opening a music store
and realizing that dream with a loan from ACCION New York.
Kiara Townes, a 12-year-old member of the Sisters in Sisterhood
program of the Ifetayo Cultural Arts Facility, spoke frankly of
sexual abuse that she suffered and subsequent struggles. With the
help of Ifetayo, she is now, in her words, “a strong, self-confident,
intelligent, African woman in the making.” The audience
agreed and gave her a rousing standing ovation.
NYWF Board President Abigail Disney, Breakfast Chair Silda Palerm,
Breakfast Vice-Chair Rosemonde Pierre-Louis, Celebrating Women Awardee
Lisa Quiroz, and Vision Awardee Billie Jean King (from top left)
given in recognition of significant achievements that have
influenced the lives of and provided a role model for women
and girls, was awarded to Lisa Quiroz. Quiroz, the founding
publisher of People en Español and the Vice President for Corporate
Responsibility at Time Warner, was honored for her work on
behalf of the Hispanic community. Billie Jean King, legendary
tennis player and philanthropist, received the Vision Award in
recognition of significant philanthropic contributions directed
toward women and children. Since the start of her tennis career,
King has led the charge for women’s rights in sports and
championed social change and equality.
Throughout the Breakfast and in the shared stories, the idea
of making a difference and being an agent of change became
a fundamental theme. Abigail Disney, NYWF Board president,
articulated this idea and invited the audience to become involved
and to mark the Breakfast as their first day of activism. Billie
Jean King challenged the audience to give over $100,000 and
promised $10,000 of her own if they reached the goal.
The audience responded. Many of them opened their wallets
and in the last hour of the Breakfast, they generously gave over
$230,000 to assist the Foundation in supporting the grassroots
groups that help low-income women and girls of New York City.
In total, the Foundation raised over 1.5 million dollars.
The New York Women’s Foundation would like to thank
Silda Palerm and Rosemonde Pierre-Louis, the Breakfast
chair and co-chair, for their tireless work in making the event
a great success. Also a special thanks to Heather Headley,
the Tony Award-winning singer and actress, for lending her
beautiful voice to the celebration.
Thank you especially to all the Breakfast participants,
volunteers, supporters, and grantees for their courage,
inspiration, and dedication to making a difference
in the lives of women and girls in New York City.

THE BRONX:
Giving Creates a Rich Borough
continued from cover
Currently, concerns about apartment repair are handled on
an individual basis. The Right to Repair bill would allow tenant
groups to demand building-wide inspections. Nonprofit groups
are continually developing fresh ideas that contribute to the
Bronx’s renaissance.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Many groups are working hard to ensure the stability of housing
in the Bronx. Other factors, such as environmental quality,
economic growth, and good schools, also help in maintaining
livable neighborhoods. NYWF also focuses on programs that
provide training and build community leadership in an effort to
help secure the lives of low-income women in the Bronx, thereby
helping their families and the borough. Statistics about poverty
in the Bronx can be overwhelming: almost 1 in 5 households
lost a job last year; 35 percent of all residents depend on public
assistance; one-third of the borough’s residents live below the
national poverty level. The Bronx has made great strides since
the 1970s, but it’s clear that more needs to be done to ensure
that the borough’s housing and economic health remain on the
upswing. Women are right there doing front-line work.
The two women receiving the NYWF’s Neighborhood Leadership
Awards this year work to address poverty in the Bronx. CAAAV:
Organizing Asian Communities brings together women who hold
jobs in such places in nail salons, laundries, or the domestic
sector, so they have safe workplaces and adequate pay. Their
executive director, Jane Sung E Bai, is getting one of the Awards
this year for her promotion of CAAAV’s programs with families
on welfare as well as immigrant domestic workers. Alexie TorresFleming, the founder of Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice’s
founder, is the other recipient of this year’s Award. Youth
Ministries uses grassroots organizing to obtain, among other
things, summer jobs for young people in the Bronx. As a complement to this, the members of the Youth Ministry learn about the
roots of poverty and ways to work for change. The combination of
education and experience provides a solid foundation
for youth in the South Bronx. Maintaining affordable housing
and bringing up individual wages are two strategies the NYWF
supports and that work together to ensure that residents of the
borough can continue to live there safely and comfortably.
The outlook for the Bronx is a positive one. This article can only
cover a few of the many things going on in the Bronx. Keep your
eyes open for the move of the fish market at Hunt’s Point, the
work to improve air quality and reduce pollution in the borough,
and the development of the Hunt’s Point Riverside Park. Take a
tour on the Bronx Council on the Arts’ Trolley. Get to know
more about the Bronx and the work going on there by contacting
the organizations mentioned in this article or any of the
Foundation’s other grantees in the Bronx. You can access their
websites via www.nywf.org. Also, come to our Neighborhood
Dinner in the Bronx on October 20th. It will be at the Center
of Arts and Culture at Hostos Community College. ★
