Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Children's Aid Society: Larger NYC-wide nonprofit operating early childhood, afterschool, foster care, and family support services. Comparable because it serves similar populations with a comparable wraparound model and competes for the same DOE, DYCD, and Administration for Children's Services contracts.
• YMCA of Greater New York: Major NYC nonprofit operating afterschool, early childhood, and youth programs across the five boroughs. Comparable because its SONYC-style afterschool and family programming competes directly with SEBNC for DYCD dollars in the Bronx.
• Catholic Charities of New York: Large NYC social services umbrella organization operating early childhood, immigrant, housing, and disability programs across the five boroughs. Comparable because it competes for the same OPWDD, DYCD, and Head Start contracts and operates wraparound services for Bronx families.

Regional players

• Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation: Washington Heights / Northern Manhattan community-based nonprofit offering family services, early childhood, housing counseling, and youth programs. Comparable because its service portfolio, immigrant-family focus, and city-contract funding model closely mirror SEBNC's structure, though it operates in upper Manhattan rather than the Bronx.

Direct peers

• Graham Windham: NYC-based nonprofit serving children, youth, and families through early childhood education, afterschool, and family support. Directly comparable because its program mix (Head Start, afterschool, family services) and Bronx service area overlap directly with SEBNC's portfolio.
• The Children's Village: NYC-based nonprofit serving children, youth, and families through residential, early childhood, and community-based programs in the Bronx and Westchester. Comparable because it serves overlapping populations with comparable city-contracted programming.
• Hudson Guild: NYC settlement house serving Chelsea and surrounding Manhattan with early childhood, afterschool, and senior services. Comparable because its settlement-house operating model, government contract mix, and family-services portfolio closely mirror SEBNC's structure.
• Henry Street Settlement: Lower East Side-based multiservice NYC settlement house offering early childhood, afterschool, senior, and community services. Comparable because it operates the same wraparound model across multiple life stages with government and donor funding, and competes for the same NYC city contract pool.
• Sheltering Arms Children and Family Services: NYC nonprofit delivering early childhood education, afterschool, and family services in the Bronx and Harlem. Comparable because it runs Head Start and DOE-funded childcare programs for similar low-income families in adjacent NYC neighborhoods.

Others

• Goodwill Industries of Greater New York and Northern New Jersey: Regional nonprofit operating workforce development, disability, and community programs in the NYC metro area. Comparable as a similarly scaled social-services nonprofit with government contracts and donor funding, though focused on workforce rather than early childhood and family services.
