What The Cedarmore Corporation does

The Cedarmore Corporation is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1999 and headquartered at 161 Lakeview Avenue in Freeport, New York. It delivers community-based youth and family empowerment programming across Long Island and the greater New York metropolitan area, with a primary focus on young people from historically marginalized communities. Its portfolio of programs includes Big Brothers Basketball (BBA), Girlz Talk, Boyz N2 Men, the Cynthia Perkins Roberts Youth Empowerment Series, the Young Entrepreneurs Training Program (YETP), the BFOW Digital Literacy Center, and a community Farmers Market Program. Programming is delivered in-person at venues such as the Bishop Frank O. White Memorial Park in Freeport and Hofstra University, with virtual components used during and after pandemic-era operations.

The organization operates with no technology product or proprietary platform; its core output is direct programmatic services rather than software or data products. Its revenue mechanics are entirely donation-driven, drawing on tax-deductible individual contributions (accepted via credit card, debit card, PayPal, and Zelle), corporate sponsorships from a named roster including Northwell, Hofstra, AT&T, JetBlue, Morgan Stanley Tech Philanthropy, PSEG, Wyndham, Adelphi, Nielsen, Steve Madden, and Gala Foods, and an annual flagship fundraiser, 'Lifting As We Climb,' held at Oheka Castle. The annual 'Lifting As We Climb' gala and events such as the BBA Basketball Tournament 2026 serve as the primary donor cultivation and community engagement vehicles. No revenue, headcount, or funding-round figures are publicly disclosed.
