Boys & Girls Harbor

City-funded organization

Boys & Girls Harbor was a Harlem-based youth services nonprofit, founded in 1937 by Anthony Drexel Duke, providing preschool, after-school, literacy, workforce-development, and performing-arts programs for children and families in East and Central Harlem. In 2019 it completed a corporate merger with Supportive Children's Advocacy Network (SCAN) to form SCAN-Harbor, Inc., which today holds the same EIN (13-6015256), per ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer. Before the merger it held $24 million in New York City contracts since 2008 (all now expired) with the Administration for Children's Services, Department of Education, and Department of Youth and Community Development, for programs including "EarlyLearn Services" and "Out of School Time Program - Elementary School/Region 9"; 60% of that contract value ($15 million across 19 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, per Checkbook NYC's award-method coding. It also received $1.1 million in City Council discretionary funding across 11 awards between FY2009 and FY2020, most recently a $5,000 FY2020 youth grant sponsored by Council Member Ayala; it has received no discretionary funding since.
