FY25 Annual Report

20 25 Annual Report

Dear Friends, Strong communities are built brick by brick — through steady investment, trusted partnerships, and a long-term commitment to children and families.

When a Washington Heights mother enrolled her infant in our home-based early childhood program, she sought support preparing her child for preschool. Instead, she found a family advocate who helped secure food benefits when her work hours were reduced, a nurse practitioner who ensured developmental screenings were completed, and a network of educators and staff who knew her family by name.

That same child now attends one of our community schools. He participates in after-school robotics, meets with a counselor in our school-based health center, and is thinking about high school and college.

His family knows where to turn — whether the need is academic, medical, or related to the next stage of growth.

This is how lasting progress is built — coordinated, sustained support that evolves as children grow. Health care alongside academics. Family stability alongside youth development. Services that adapt over time.

At a moment when families are navigating economic pressure and public systems are stretched thin, continuity matters more than ever.

In the pages that follow, you’ll see how this sustained commitment creates meaningful impact across early childhood, health, education, and youth development — block by block, community by community.

For more than 170 years, Children’s Aid has strengthened communities across New York City. With your partnership, we are building strong foundations today so tomorrow’s communities are more stable, resilient, and full of opportunity.

Real progress happens when a deep connection is made and support is sustained over time.

At Children’s Aid, we have created a blueprint to help New York City children, families, and communities thrive.

For more than 170 years, our organization has worked to ensure that young people facing poverty have access to the opportunities they need to learn, grow, and lead.

Our approach is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: no single service is enough.

From early childhood education that builds literacy and confidence to comprehensive health care, social-emotional support, and family stabilization services, we provide a continuum of care designed to meet children and families where they are.

By integrating services across schools, community-based programs, and partnerships into a coordinated system of care, Children’s Aid helps ensure that

LAYING THE FOUNDATION Setting the stage for lifelong growth.

Children’s Aid provides the essential building blocks children, youth, and families need at each critical stage of development. We start in early childhood, where high-quality education helps young learners build curiosity, confidence, and skills needed for long-term academic success.

Families come to Children’s Aid through many entry points, and not every child begins with us in early childhood. Many arrive facing interconnected challenges that affect their ability to thrive, from health concerns to family instability and educational barriers.

Our approach is designed to respond to that reality. Academic support is linked with health care.

Family stabilization services are connected to youth development opportunities. Social-emotional and behavioral supports are integrated into everyday learning environments. Rather than addressing challenges independently, we coordinate services so that children and families receive consistent, aligned support.

This integrated model allows us to meet immediate needs while building long-term stability. Each touchpoint strengthens the next, creating a connected system of care that adapts as needs evolve.

Children’s Aid creates an environment where my child can learn and explore safely and joyfully.

When Zeriah joined a home-based Children’s Aid early childhood program at two years old, she was quiet.

With consistent engagement in a nurturing environment, she began to find her voice. She started to initiate conversations and form strong connections with her classmates, often taking on the role of classroom greeter.

Today, Zeriah is preparing for kindergarten with growing confidence and a strong sense of independence.

Her mother, Nykia, has supported her daughter’s journey by actively working with our staff and other parents. She now serves as Chairperson of the Parent Committee, helping to facilitate deeper community involvement.

Their journey reflects how early learning programs can support not only a child’s development, but a family’s stability.

ADAPTING

BY DESIGN Evolving to provide holistic support.

Children’s Aid is designed to respond to change — both in the lives of the children and families we serve and in the communities where we work. Our approach is built to adapt, connect, and evolve as needs emerge.

Because families engage with Children’s Aid through multiple programs and services, we see their needs as part of a broader picture, not as isolated challenges. This allows us to connect support across different areas of a child’s life, ensuring that services reinforce one another and reflect the full context of each family’s experience.

In practice, this means support is continuously adjusted based on what families need most. A child receiving academic support may also be connected to health or counseling services.

A family navigating housing or food insecurity may also receive assistance that strengthens long-term stability.

Staff and programs work together to ensure these supports are aligned and responsive.

This approach allows Children’s Aid to meet immediate needs while also supporting long-term growth. It is what makes sustained progress possible for the children and families we serve.

I have come to understand who I am as a person.

Children’s Aid helps me to see that.

Joseph Age 15 Children’s Aid Youth

Joseph entered Children’s Aid through the Summer Youth Employment Program at Hope Leadership Academy in Harlem, eager to gain work experience. What began as a summer placement quickly became a pathway to new possibilities.

Joseph’s consistent engagement led him to additional experiences where he continued building job readiness skills and expanding his horizons. As his confidence and abilities grew, staff connected him to a mentorship opportunity with J.P. Morgan — exposing him to professional environments and career pathways he had not previously considered.

Today, Joseph is preparing for his future through college and career readiness programming that combines hands-on experience, mentorship, and sustained guidance. His path reflects how exposure, opportunity, and support can expand what young people see as possible for themselves.

ENGAGE. SUPPORT. ADAPT.

Children’s Aid is designed to be responsive and sustaining over the long term.

When we say “Every Step of the Way,” our promise and commitment is to support children, families, and communities as they develop and evolve.

We listen first, and then use our broad range of services, deep community-based resources, and decades of experience to help young people become who they want to be.

My team and I design our programming with the best practices in youth development and the flexibility to meet the dynamic needs of our young people.

Creating an Informed and Responsive Plan

Assessing Efficacy Along the Way

Adjusting to Meet Changing Needs

Supporting Youth Beyond the “Finish Line”

A teen walks through the doors of our Next Generation Center (NGC) in the Bronx. He has spent a few years in foster care.

During the intake process, the staff learn he didn’t graduate high school and is currently at risk of homelessness. They determine he needs support transitioning into adulthood. Staff enroll him in GED classes, refer him to an employment coach, and connect him with a housing specialist.

As he begins to visit NGC regularly to attend GED classes, our staff observe that he is struggling to balance everything and is overwhelmed by his situation. They notice he has trouble expressing himself, struggles with anxiety that significantly affects his daily life, and would benefit from additional types of support.

To navigate the big life steps on his horizon, he receives a referral to the mental health team to begin individual therapy sessions.

He learns coping skills and exercises that help him to reframe negative thoughts and navigate stressful situations.

With new tools to manage his anxiety and greater confidence in navigating challenges, he completes his GED and is able to find employment to qualify for NYCHA housing.

Children’s Aid staff will continue to work with him as he applies to college and prepares to take the next steps toward a brighter future.

2025 Annual Report 13

FORGING CONNECTION Building trust through consistency.

Trust is the foundation of Children’s Aid’s work. It is built through consistent relationships — with children and families, with schools and community partners, and with the neighborhoods where we have long-standing roots.

A child may build trust with a school counselor, a youth worker in an after-school program, or a staff member in a community center.

Families may engage with multiple services and staff, creating familiarity and continuity that strengthens engagement over time.

This trust makes it possible to provide support that is responsive and sustained.

It allows staff to understand needs in context, to connect families to additional resources, and to ensure support feels consistent rather than fragmented.

Through a primary person model, Children’s Aid creates the conditions for children and families to feel seen, supported, and connected to a broader community of care.

In high school and now college, Children’s Aid has had an enormous impact on my life and my future.

Isobell’s connection began at Curtis High School on Staten Island through the Summer Youth Employment Program. What kept her coming back was the relationships she built with staff who encouraged her to challenge herself.

Isobell expanded her interests, stepped into leadership roles, and engaged more deeply in school life. Mentors remained a consistent presence, offering guidance and encouragement as she navigated decisions about her future. Those relationships helped broaden her perspective and better understand her own goals.

Asher Age 22

Children’s Aid Alumnus & Staff

Asher first engaged with Children’s Aid at ten years old, entering the East Harlem Community Center as a participant.

The center was a safe place that became central to his sense of community and the relationships he forged with his peers and his mentor, David Giordano.

Those relationships and the values they instilled in him eventually brought Asher back to the center as a staff member where he mentors young people in the same neighborhood that raised him.

Now, he is helping to ensure that this space where children feel seen and encouraged continues to serve future generations.

Asher heads the Youth and Education Committee on Community Board 11 that has played a key role in shaping the current rebuilding of our East Harlem Community Center.

ADVANCING GENERATIONS Creating lasting change over time.

Children’s Aid is committed to helping young people achieve their dreams and build lives defined by opportunity, not limitations.

Every day, we work to provide the building blocks that support academic success, health and well-being, and family stability.

Our impact extends far beyond the individual.

When a young person gains access to resources and support, the benefits ripple outward, strengthening families and shaping the communities around them.

Generational change begins with investing in children and a commitment to walking alongside them as they grow.

Through the dedication of our staff, the generosity of our supporters, and the resilience of those we serve, we are creating lasting pathways to opportunity — for today’s children and future generations.

Aid. Millie’s relationship with Children’s Aid spans five generations, beginning when she first walked into our East Harlem Community Center at five years old. Following her aunt — the first in their family to connect with us — Millie and her brothers quickly found a second home there. Her mother became part of the community as well, waking before dawn to run the breakfast program before going on to earn her social work certificate and serve as a mental health advocate.

As a young adult Millie worked at the center and earned a scholarship to attend college, building a brighter future for her family. The family legacy continues to grow today with Millie’s great-grandson who is currently enrolled. For so many other families, the East Harlem Center has been the heart of 101st Street for generations — a place where connections are built and achievements are carried forward.

FY 2025 FINANCIAL REPORT

Every dollar entrusted to Children’s Aid is used with care and purpose to create opportunities for the nearly 50,000 children, youth, and families we serve each year.

The following page outlines financial highlights for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Children’s Aid reported $185.5 million in operating revenue and $190.5 million in expenses, resulting in a $5 million operating deficit. In response to increased need across the communities we serve, Children’s Aid made the strategic, intentional decision to draw on net assets built over time to sustain and strengthen programs and services. Program expenses accounted for 83% of total non-fundraising related spending, with 17% supporting management and general operations — reflecting a continued focus on delivering high-quality, direct services to children and families. Sustained donor support remains essential to maintaining this work and ensuring long-term financial stability.

By easing that burden, they are opening doors to higher education. Jon hopes this model will inspire others to engage their professional and academic networks to expand support for young people.

In addition to volunteerism, Visa Foundation has made a significant financial investment into Children’s Aid through its Visa Foundation Gives initiative, which supports local communities on what they need most. What distinguishes this partnership is its breadth — spanning leadership, philanthropy, and employee engagement — and its alignment with a shared commitment to expanding opportunity for children and families across New York City.
