Attorney General James Announces $3 Million in Grants Supporting Filipino Cultural Organizations in New York City

 

Ma-Yi Theater Company and Woodside on the Move Will Each Receive $1.5 Million to Offer Community Programs and Services

New York Attorney General Letitia James today announced that the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) will deliver a total of $3 million in grants to two organizations serving the New York City Filipino community. The Ma-Yi Filipino Theater Ensemble, Inc. d/b/a Ma-Yi Theater Company (Ma-Yi Theater) and Woodside on the Move, Inc. (Woodside on the Move) will each receive $1.5 million in connection with the dissolution of a charity that provided cultural and educational services to the Filipino community in New York City. The funds will be used to produce cultural and educational community programs and services geared toward Filipino New Yorkers.

“I am proud to announce $3 million in grants to support two organizations serving the Filipino community and all New Yorkers,” said Attorney General James. “When a charitable organization closes its doors, it is imperative that its remaining assets are dedicated to continuing its mission. Ma-Yi Theater and Woodside on the Move already provide invaluable arts and culture programming to their communities, and I look forward to their continued success.”
