UpBeat NYC Awarded $50k Grant from the Pinkerton Foundation

UpBeat NYC has been awarded a $50,000 grant from the Pinkerton Foundation to strengthen current operations and build capacity for UpBeat's South Bronx community music programming.

Dedicated to improving the lives of young people in poor neighborhoods throughout New York City by helping them develop the skills, self-reliance and strong values necessary to live up to their full potential, the Pinkerton Foundation supports community-based programs that combine engaging activities, mentoring by caring adults and academic training.
We are thrilled to announce this new partnership with the Pinkerton Foundation and excited to have their support in building an even stronger UpBeat for NYC children in 2015 and beyond.
