Founded in 2009, Destination Tomorrow officials said the organization has provided what they said are essential wraparound support and services to LGBTQ+ communities across New York, Atlanta and Washington, D.C for nearly 20 years. Through the program, they said the organization aims to equip [other LGBTI+ or other] organizations most deeply connected to the communities they serve with the resources they need to expand their impact.
Sage Rivera, Destination Tomorrow’s chief strategy officer, has spoken of the need for the program given the funding gaps, Rivera says, that many LGBTQI+ organizations face. He also highlights the importance of investing in community-based solutions.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
