DYCD Announces the 2026 COMPASS RFP School-Based and Community Center-based Awardees.

Funding & Support

The New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) is only as strong as the community-based organizations it contracts with. We provide a variety of services designed to help agencies build capacity, establish sound financial practices, and take advantage of available resources: 


Capacity Building & Professional Development

Capacity Building & Professional Development services help DYCD funded Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) operate efficiently and effectively.


Discretionary Awards

Discretionary Awards and Contracts provide funds that non-profit, community-based social service providers use to meet the needs of local communities.
