Foundation funders
2024
The New York Health Foundation, Mother Cabrini Health Foundation, and Ira W. DeCamp Foundations have awarded grants to support a new NYSBHF Statewide Data Hub initiative. With more than 50% of New York’s school-based health centers represented in the Data Hub, the data is sufficiently robust to begin examining racial, ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in the health status and care history of students enrolled in School-Based Health Centers. Participating organizations will collaborate on Disparities Action Plans and a Data Quality Initiative. Funding will also be used to add new organizations to the Data Hub program and to maintain its infrastructure.
2023
The Affinity Legacy Community Grant Program has awarded NYSBHF $400,000 to support a program "Addressing the Soaring Behavioral Health Needs of Low-Income Public School Students" in 2023. Three organizations sponsoring school-based health centers in the 10-county Affinity service area will be selected to participate in the program, where they will receive training and coaching in the delivery of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) in schools. Depending on the sponsoring organization's preference, the program may involve work in classrooms supporting teachers in use of DBT techniques, as well as therapy in the school-based health center. DBT is an evidence-based treatment model designed to help students cope with stresses and trauma from the ongoing pandemic as well as create resiliency that will serve them for a lifetime.
The Ira W. DeCamp Foundation has provided $95,000 to support the continued growth and development of the NYSBHF Data Hub. Activities will include the recruitment of new participating organizations, enhancement of reporting & analytics from the Data Hub, and exploring options for stable, long-term funding to support the program
