Mouse is Awarded a Record $328K from The New York City Council for FY14!

Mouse greatly appreciates being awarded $328K by Speaker Christine C. Quinn and the New York City Council, the largest grant Mouse has received from the New York City Council to date.

Mouse values our partnership with the City Council and their continuing to see promise in Mouse programs by increasing their contribution for the coming school year.  Since 2000, the New York City Council and the Office of the Speaker have invested almost $3 million in Mouse

Mouse is honored to be one of fourteen citywide education initiatives that the Speaker supported as a priority of her education agenda.

"Not only does this budget maintain or enhance services throughout the city, it leaves the next Council, the next Administration and all New Yorkers with the peace of mind that their government was able to work together to protect vital services." --Christine C. Quinn, Speaker, New York City Council

  • Speaker Christine Quinn and the New York City Council: $275,000

"Mouse programs have demonstrated that they transform student lives by developing student leaders and providing them with the leadership, technology, and academic sklls they need to succeed in the 21st century."  --Inez E. Dickens, NYC Council Member

Mouse is pleased to receive funding from our long time and new NYC Council Member supporters. We would like to extend a very special thank you to Council Members Robert Jackson, Inez Dickens, Rosie Mendez, Daniel Garodnick, James Gennaro and Leroy Comrie who have supported us almost every year they have been in office! 

With the continued support of the New York City Council, as well as many other contributors, Mouse looks forward to extending its impact to more students across the city in the FY14 school year!
