Young Israel Programs, Inc.
City-funded organization
Young Israel Programs, Inc. is the sponsoring agency for four New York City senior centers, in Forest Hills, Flushing, Midwood, and Far Rockaway/Wavecrest and Bayswater, run under the National Council of Young Israel network and funded through the city's Department for the Aging (DFTA). Its current $3.4 million DFTA contract for Older Adult Center services carries a "Renewal (not re-bid)" badge on Checkbook NYC, and 75% of the value of city contracts it has been awarded since 2010 ($28 million of $37 million total) was won without a fresh competitive bid. IRS records under the shared group EIN (03-0381957, filed under National Council Of Young Israel) list a Paramus, NJ address, matching the vendor address on Checkbook, and show the entity is exempt from filing a Form 990 as a religious organization.
