4.0 Project Implementation

What happened during Project Implementation?

After reviewing applications from community-based organizations across the city, we identified 44 organizations to turn the winning ideas into projects! These consisted of 33 projects in TRIE neighborhoods, and 13 borough-based projects. The projects address critical needs and gaps in service delivery that were identified by communities during idea generation. They focus on a wide range of needs, including mental health, job training, education, and more!

What happens during Project Implementation?

After the voting results are determined and the winning project ideas are announced, the CEC works closely with selected contracted community partners who applied to bring the winning ideas to life! Over the course of the year, the CEC ensures they are supported, effectively monitored, and that projects are completed successfully.

How Project Implementation Works

• The CEC invites community-based organizations to apply to turn the ideas into projects through a robust and competitive selection process. CEC staff review applications thoroughly to ensure selected partners will be able to successfully complete their projects and have experience in and passion for the project's impact area.

• Selected organizations implement the projects throughout the year with capacity building and project management support from the CEC. In collaboration with The New School's Graduate Program in International Affairs, these Project Cycle Management workshops support the design, planning, implementation, monitoring, and consistent reporting of the projects.
