Today is the 3rd Avenue Community Benefit Festival from 66th to 86th street ! #nycre #ues
The mission of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce Community Benefit Fund -CBF-(501c3 affiliate of MCC) is to support a wide-range of nonprofit programs throughout Manhattan, encouraging volunteerism and garnering visibility and financial support for nonprofits seeking to improve the health, welfare and social and cultural lives of all New Yorkers.
The CBF encourages volunteerism in NYC and also runs two of the oldest and largest street fairs in New York City, the 2nd and 3rd Avenue Community Benefit Festivals held in June and September from 66th to 86th Streets. The profits from these large events are deposited into the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce's Community Benefit Fund (CBF).
We are proud to announce financial support from the CBF in 2010 totaling over $110,000 in grants and raffle proceeds to over 75 non profits on Manhattan's upper east side. Grant applications are sent out to the district's non-profit agencies who then apply for funding from the CBF for programs directly affecting Community Board 8 area---from E. 59th St. to E. 96th St. from 5th Ave. to the East River.
"The purpose of these popular street fairs is to support a wide-range of community programs in Community Board District 8,” said Jeffrey Bernstein, Chamber Chairman. “Each year, event proceeds are used to support a wide range of community-based nonprofit projects in the area.”
To date, the Chamber has given over $2,750,000 back to the community. Every August, nonprofit organizations in the Community Board 8 district are invited to apply for MCC Community Benefit Fund monies. Applications are due at the end of October. Actual grant monies are distributed in December of each year.
$5,000 was given this year to the Eleanor Roosevelt High School on Manhattan’s Upper East Side tosupport their senior programs.
In addition, the CBF Raffle Ticket Program helps nonprofit organizations to enhance their projects. Proceeds to the organizations traditionally range from $59,000-$76,000 per year in total. This year $66,000 tickets were sold by the organizations to raise money for their programs.
We thank our continued sponsors: CW11, Radio Disney, YellowBook, Our Town and Time Warner Cable Business Class.
