?? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ???? ???????????? ?????????????????? ?? Many people face barriers to accessing reliable health information online, from language differences to digital literacy gaps. We were fortunate to work with Queens Public Library to launch materials for their “Connect to Your Health” program, which helps caregivers confidently navigate digital healthcare tools. From multilingual outreach materials to accessible graphics, F.Y. Eye developed a suite of communications to ensure every community member has the resources they need. Now more than ever, we’re deepening our work to help nonprofits get critical information out to the people they serve. ??

Last Friday F.Y. Eye wrapped up our second #NonprofitCoLab cohort with an incredible Pitch Day, where seven teams of artists, nonprofits, and WPP volunteers presented powerful #PSA campaigns they’ve spent the past four months developing. We kicked off with Lucas Hunt (Founder of HUNT Philanthropy) as our Master of Ceremonies, Jonathan Sanchez (SVP Communications & Public Affairs, North America, WPP), and Christina Daigneault (Executive Director of F.Y. Eye), who set the tone for the day for creative impact, storytelling, and mobilizing media for good. Then, each team took the stage, sharing their vision. ?Congrats to this year’s cohort of seven nonprofits: Natural Areas Conservancy, Tech Kids Unlimited , Elmcor Youth & Adult Activities, Inc.,? El Puente, SAGE, #CommunitiesNotCages, and University Settlement Society of New York ?And to this year’s Impact Artists: Carla Torres, Daniel Stark, Hoda Ramy Jardley Jean-Louis, Shristi Singh, Utsa Ramaswami, and A.J. Cincotta-Eichenfield, LMSW, OSW-C A huge thank you to The New York Community Trust for making this program possible. We are also immensely grateful to our coaches and speakers Zac Roy, Matt Sollars, Charlie Sherman, Pilar Finuccio, Prachi Rao, and Jason Lim who helped shape these campaigns, and to the Nonprofit Co-Lab judges who helped select this year’s cohort Nicole Robinson-Etienne, Adam Robinson, Adam Rattner, and Anat Gerstein. Thank you to LinkNYC for their generous donation of kiosk screen time for each of the PSAs developed in this program. This program would not have been possible without the tireless dedication and partnership from the WPP team, especially Tikki Mitchell-King, Khari Motayne, and all the volunteers whose collective efforts made these PSAs a reality. Now, we bring the PSA campaigns to the streets of NYC! ?? #NonprofitCoLab #PSAsforGood #CreativeImpact #StorytellingForChange

At F.Y. Eye, we believe in amplifying movements that build more just, equitable communities. We partnered with New Economy Project and the NYC Community Land Initiative (NYCCLI) to create the first-ever interactive map of NYC’s community land trusts, showcasing how neighborhoods are reclaiming land for deeply affordable housing, cultural spaces, and collective ownership. This tool highlights the growing movement for community-led development and the transformative impact of organizing for land justice. ???? #CommunityPower #LandForThePeople #NYC #CommunityLandTrusts Explore The Map: https://lnkd.in/echKFAtt In The News: https://lnkd.in/eNiSRpYK Special thanks to Deyanira Del Rio and Ben Hagen of New Economy Project and all the member organizations in the NYCCLI that contributed their time, energy, and information to the creation of this map.

F.Y. Eye is so pleased to welcome?The Bronx Defenders?to the PSA Network as a Host! The Bronx Defenders is a public defender nonprofit that is radically transforming how low-income people in the Bronx are represented in the justice system, and in doing so, is transforming the system itself. Each year, they defend nearly 20,000 Bronx residents in criminal, civil, family, and immigration courts. We are thrilled that this impactful organization is joining our PSA Network Host Community, helping us to raise awareness about critical services, resources, and programs to Bronx communities.
