Fiscal Year 2023 closed out with the rededication of our Lower East Side Community Center located at 80 Pitt St.
After an $18 Million renovation, this state-of-the-art community center is the crown jewel of the Lower East Side. We will host Early Childhood, Youth, and Older Adult programs alongside Benefits Assistance and Food Distribution services.
We welcomed our community partners to provide new programming at our space.

Impactful Leadership
Throughout this past year, our Board of Directors has stepped forward to lead. Their impact is widespread, but here are a few examples of what they’ve been up to.

Did you attend Taste of the Lower East Side this year? If so, you may have seen our JUMP! volunteers celebrating the end of another successful year.
JUMP! and Taste of the Lower East Side were founded by board members and, in fact, many current board members joined the Grand Street team through their involvement with JUMP! including our new Board President Bryan Koplin.
President
13 years ago I started volunteering with Grand St. Settlement through JUMP!, a program focused on creating mentorships between young professionals and local youth.
At the end of Fiscal Year 2023, I was elected as President of Grand Street’s Board of Directors. I’m thrilled to give back to an organization that I care so much about.
Thank you to our former board officers who steered Grand Street through the COVID-19 pandemic, rededication of 80 Pitt St., and successfully positioned us as a leader in the nonprofit sector of New York City.
In my term as president, I’m excited to focus on what brought me to Grand Street: the vital programs that have been changing lives since 1916.
The one ask I have for you during my tenure: stand with us in the fight for our communities.

We’re standing up for public housing residents who deserve quality, well-maintained, and safe homes.
A Note from our CEO
This year has been incredibly challenging for me personally. I’m beyond thankful to our staff including our top-notch executive team, our Board of Directors, partners, and all of our community members for stepping up to continue our mission.
Because of you, Grand Street continues to be bold, grand, and inspired.
