After School Corporation, The

City-funded organization

The After School Corporation, now known as ExpandED Schools, was founded in 1998 by George Soros and Herb Sturz with a challenge grant from the Open Society Foundations to build New York City's first citywide system of daily K-12 after-school programs; it is headquartered at 218 West 40th Street in Manhattan. On Checkbook NYC it shows $19.9 million in city contracts awarded since 2008, all now expired, entirely with the Department of Youth and Community Development, covering after-school education, recreation, and technical assistance contracts; 92% of that contract value ($18.3 million across 26 contracts), largely City Council discretionary (member-item) awards, was granted without a fresh competitive bid. Separately, it received $26.6 million in City Council discretionary funding across 10 awards between FY2009 and FY2015.
