Coalition for Gender Equity in Schools
Brooklyn, NY

The Coalition for Gender Equity in Schools is a partnership of youth, parents, school staff and community-based organizations working to end gender-based violence and sexual harassment in New York City public schools. Project objectives include developing youth leadership and empowering young women and men to recognize sexual assault and advocate for themselves in reporting harassment. In addition to increasing uniform enforcement of existing sexual harassment policies, project leaders will advocate for more comprehensive policies-working together with Title IX to eliminate sexual harassment in school environments. This project meets the criteria of the Local Funding Partnerships special solicitation to under-represented communities of diversity: nominated by the New York Women's Foundation, granted to the Girls for Gender Equity organization, to implement the Coalition for Gender Equity in Schools.

The Guardianship Project
New York, NY

Many frail elderly and adults with developmental disabilities are especially vulnerable because they cannot manage their personal and financial affairs, decide about their own medical care and housing, or hire people to assist them. In these situations judges may assign a court-appointed attorney to act as legal guardian. The Vera Institute proposes a new guardianship service staffed by a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in legal, fiscal and case management skills. Their guidelines emphasize placing clients in the least restrictive settings and encourage self-determination whenever possible. The professional team will also advise relatives who accept guardianship for a loved one. The cost effectiveness of the project relies on serving a mix of clients, including those with income and assets who could be billed for services to offset the costs of clients with no assets.
