Hot off the press - the latest edition of New York’s Newspaper announcing the 2026 @davidprizenyc winners!!!

Over the years, we’ve found ourselves spending more time on storytelling. While our bread and butter is cash to New Yorkers with no strings, spotlighting the stories and ideas we hear along the way has become a big part of how we do what we do — what we describe as “investing in New Yorkers potential.”

This newspaper has been somewhat of an evolving project. It first was an internal memo in a word doc that then we started to share. It morphed into an ugly Canva booklet I designed (scary). Then when we turned five, we made a coffee table book to honor the stories of winners as they deserved.

This newspaper is the culmination of all of those iterations. So far, we’ve published three papers with many more coming. And we are working on yet another iteration to come soon.

Our newspapers are distributed at the @w4newsstand every so often, so swing by to see if you can snag a copy. (Or dm me!)

To the beautiful humans who made this possible, thank you. @mariahespada @irinananana @ginabygina 🫶
