OUR PROGRAMS & PARTNERS

A Note on the IAC Fellows Program: The IAC Fellows Program, which has supported aspiring technology leaders through scholarships, internships, mentorship, and hardship relief, will conclude in August 2026. We are proud of the impact the program has had on students and grateful to the Fellows, mentors, and partners who helped make it possible. The Foundation remains committed to expanding opportunity and supporting communities through its ongoing philanthropic work.

Arts & Culture

We seek to enrich our local community by ensuring that art remains a vibrant and accessible part of New York City. We invest in programs that promote diverse voices, inspire creativity, strengthen cultural institutions, and educate the next generation of artists.

Civic & Community Engagement

Investing in local initiatives that strengthen communities and expand opportunity where it’s needed most.

We engage in civic and community initiatives to improve urban life, advance economic opportunities, and enhance the social fabric of New York City.

With a focus on West Chelsea, we support organizations working directly with vulnerable populations—meeting immediate needs while building stronger, more resilient communities over time.

Hardship Relief

Support when it matters most.

 

Fellow Hardship Relief

As part of the Fellows Program's commitment to supporting aspiring technology leaders, Fellows facing unexpected hardship may apply for emergency grants—administered by E4E Relief—of up to $10,000 to help cover urgent needs such as medical emergencies, natural disasters, or other critical challenges.

 

Neighborhood Hardship Relief

Neighborhood Hardship Relief is a $300,000 partnership with Hudson Guild providing direct emergency assistance to individuals and families in West Chelsea. Building on a 17-year relationship—and a pandemic-era model that supported 222 families—the program helps cover urgent needs like rent, utilities, medical expenses, food, and childcare. Applications are vetted and administered by Hudson Guild to ensure support reaches those most at risk, delivering fast, flexible aid when it matters most.
