Incubating Strong Solutions
For nearly three decades, the Foundation has played a significant role in incubating many successful ventures in New York City. Building on that long and committed tradition of support, the Foundation operates the Gould Innovation Center, providing collaborative workspace for not–for-profit organizations to advance ideas and solutions addressing the college achievement gap. In addition to workspace, the Center includes a plug-in technology platform and meeting and program space, as well as an array of pro bono consulting services, including board development, strategic planning, fundraising, fiscal management, and human resources support.
