Overview
Mission
The Helene Marks Early Start Foundation seeks to improve the quality of early childhood education and to broaden access for children, infants to age three, who need it most. Focusing our efforts in New York City, we support programs and initiatives aimed at providing children with a healthy learning environment that will enable them to grow and succeed emotionally and academically. Please note, this organization ceased to exist/terminated in 2024.
What it reported doing in 2024
In 2024, the organization had minimal activity level and expenses due to the reduction in active Board members. The Board decided to terminate the organization and move the proceeds to other charities in 2024 once all expenses are paid.
