We are deeply grateful to Mayor Eric Adams, Speaker Adrienne Adams, Commissioner Cumbo and the City Council for their continued support of The Paige Fraser Foundation’s (TPFF) work. We are pleased to inform you that the Cultural Development Fund (CDF) has supported our application for the fiscal year 2024. Through the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), we have been designated a 3-year award of $16,840 for each of fiscal years 2024, 2025 and 2026. This grant will enable TPFF to continue offering community-based programs under our “Bent but Not Broken,” flagship program which includes: “Dance is Healing,” “Dance to Bond,” “Dance Strong,” and “Tai Chi Flow Dance.” Building a stronger and healthier community is TPFF’s core mission and these programs allow us to reach and engage several populations in our community including youth, adults, and healthcare workers.

The Bronx, New York: The Paige Fraser Foundation, Inc. (TPFF) announced today a grant award totaling $20,000 from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) to support the nonprofit arts and culture sector. Through New York State’s continued investment in arts and culture, NYSCA has awarded over $80 million since Spring 2023 to over 1,500 artists and organizations across the state.
Governor Kathy Hochul said, “Research confirms what we’ve always known here in New York: arts and culture are a powerhouse, with a staggering return on investment for our economy and our communities. Nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences generated $151.7 billion in economic activity nationwide in 2022 and New York’s unparalleled arts and culture sector is leading the way to benefit our residents, our students and our visitors every day. I commend these grantees on their achievements and look forward to their contributions in the coming year."

NYSCA Chair Katherine Nicholls added, “Thanks to the unwavering support of Governor Hochul and our Legislature, NYSCA is so proud to support the work of organizations and artists from all across New York. Spanning the entire breadth of the arts and culture sector – from world-renowned performers to after-school programs, from long established museums to community arts collectives – these organizations and artists together are a powerful driver of health, tourism, economy and education for our residents and visitors. On behalf of Council and staff, congratulations to The Paige Fraser Foundation, Inc. (TPFF) and thank you for your perseverance, your creativity and your tireless service to New York State.”
