We are immensely proud to announce our 2024 winning Grant Champions.

We extend congratulations to our first place winner, the Springs Food Pantry, which will receive a grant of $35,000, championed by Kira Brandman and Amy Leopold.

For those new to PYP, Amy Leopold presented the Springs Food Pantry during our inaugural year, fell a few votes short, but refused to give up. Her determination, unwavering passion and commitment to the Pantry’s mission are truly commendable. 👏🏻

A special shoutout to Kira as well for her recent recognition by the Suffolk County Legislature for her volunteerism to the Springs Food Pantry.

In second place, we proudly recognize Project Most, presented by the remarkable Melanie Hayward. Project Most will receive our second place grant of $10,000.

We sincerely appreciate the dedication of our members who enthusiastically brought to light the outstanding work of five amazing non-profit organizations making a profound impact on our community. Our aspiration is to ultimately secure funding for all. Challenge accepted. We hope you’ll join us in 2025.

As always, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support and camaraderie. #pypthehamptons #pitchdontbitch #givewhereyoulive @pitchyourpeers @pypseattle @pitchyourpeerschicago @pypwestchester @springsfoodpantry @projectmost @brookegordonbohnsack @jgauger22 @rhianlhorgan @amy12461 @pk_kira @meljintheusa

What comes after Pitch Day?? Next we Vote. Stay tuned to learn which two non-profits will take home💰.

A very special thank you to our Grant Champions (that’s what PYP calls the badass women that step forward to Pitch their passion project) for educating our Members and guests on the critical needs of our community.

We couldn’t be more proud to unveil our 2024 Grant Champions! They are ready to pitch their hearts out on Pitch Day - November 16th!

This year, we’re thrilled to offer TWO prizes:

🏆 First Place: **$30,000**
🥈 Second Place: **$10,000**

And guess what? If our numbers continue to grow leading up to Pitch Day, these prizes could increase even further!

Join us in celebrating this year’s amazing non-profits and Grant Champions:

✨ Our Fabulous Variety Show - Anita Boyer + Kasia Klimiuk
✨ Project Most - Melanie Hayward
✨ Ruta 27 - Erika Garcia
✨ Springs Food Pantry - Kira Brandman + Amy Leopold

Pitch Day is a shining example of what happens when badass women come together… the outcome can be EXTRAORDINARY! Since our inception in 2016 in Greenwich, CT, we’ve expanded to Seattle (2017), Chicago (2020), the Hamptons (2023), and most recently, Westchester (2024)!

On a personal note, a HUGE shoutout to my original co-founders, Nina Calo Lindia, Dara K. Johnson, and Rachael Lerner LeMasters, for transforming our vision into something magical. The impact we’ve collectively made in our communities fills my heart with gratitude.

PYP takes tremendous pride in shining a light on and financially supporting (nearly $2,500,000 awarded to date!) the remarkable work of non-profits that make our communities better.

Don’t wait for change. Create it. 💫

Last night was a testament to the power of community! When everyone comes together like ours did, you know you’ve found your home. FULL of gratitude to the many that came out last night to support PYP The Hamptons. Together our impact will be extraordinary!

A heartfelt shoutout to Peter Honerkamp, the owner of the iconic Stephen Talkhouse, for generously opening up his doors to us at no cost. You and your team’s support means the world to us! @talkhousebar

East Hampton’s very own Josh Brussel brought the energy and PARTY, as he always does. He’s certainly no stranger to this legendary stage! @hamptonmusi #givewhereyoulive #pitchdontbitch #community #gratitude @pitchyourpeers @pypseattle @pitchyourpeerschicago @pypwestchester

We’re thrilled to announce our 5th and final Pitch for 2024: The Road Forward Scholarship Fund!

Presented by the incredible Grant Champion, Roxy Zajac, the Road Forward Scholarship Fund was established to support local East End students who aspire to achieve higher education but face significant financial challenges. The organization’s core value is a strong belief in education as the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. @theroadforwardscholarshipfund @roxyzajac
