The Development Department is reimagining how philanthropy can deepen our impact and fuel our continued growth by building meaningful partnerships with individuals and institutions who believe in our mission and want to invest in joyful, academically excellent schools where students develop the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose. From our first middle school, KIPP Academy in the Bronx, to today's network of eight elementary schools, nine middle schools, and one high school, KIPP NYC provides students with engaging academics, arts, athletics, and social-emotional learning that prepare them for college, career, and beyond.
