What SULLIVAN 180 INC does

Sullivan 180 is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Liberty, New York, dedicated to building a healthy community in Sullivan County through people, places, and policy, with an intentional focus on prevention and youth wellness. The organization operates a portfolio of community health programs including the Empowering a Healthier Generation Program (flagship school-based wellness initiative launched in 2021), the School Nutrition Program (transforming school meals through scratch cooking and farm-to-school sourcing), the Prevention Program (evidence-based vaping/substance use prevention via CATCH My Breath), the Healthiest Fire Department Challenge (engaging all 39 Sullivan County fire departments), and the Catskill Edible Garden Project.

The organization distributes financial resources through a tiered grant structure — District Impact Grants up to $20,000, Competition Grants up to $10,000 with prizes of $75,000 and $50,000, School Grants up to $4,000, Edible Garden Project Grants up to $2,500, and $500 Turtle Awards — alongside scholarships and a Community Resource Guide. Programs are delivered through direct technical assistance, workshops, and on-site support rather than a technology platform; no proprietary software products exist.

Sullivan 180 is funded primarily through grants, donations, and donor-advised funds (notably via the Community Foundation of Orange, Sullivan and Rockland). The organization is led by CEO Denise Frangipane and Founding Chair Sandra Gerry, with a small team of directors and coordinators. Customer segments are diversified across youth, schools, fire departments, and community organizations, with no paying customers in the traditional commercial sense.
