Since its founding in 1934, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has been proud to call New York City home. With its Civic Initiatives Program, the Foundation responds to unique opportunities to benefit the New York City metro area with an eye toward advancing the Foundation's other interests in science, technology and economic performance.
Ongoing initiatives in the Civic Program include the Sloan Public Service Awards, now in their ninth year, which recognize outstanding public service to New York City, and the new Sloan Awards for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics, which recognize remarkable science and math teaching in New York's public high schools.
