Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation, which distributes as much as $12 million in grants annually, has set its sights on helping Mexicans and Mexican-Americans get ahead in New York City.
The fast-growing population with high labor-participation rates in low-wage jobs and low school-enrollment rates is at risk of breaking New York’s rich history of immigrant mobility, according to the regional philanthropic arm of Germany’s biggest bank. The foundation is funding five projects designed to deliver education and social services to 3,500 young learners and teenagers as it seeks to prevent permanent inequality.
