As Bottom Line New York celebrates 15 years of impact, we are proud to honor Punit Mehta and Sarah Binder Mehta, longtime friends and supporters of the organization. Their commitment to Bottom Line reflects the spirit of this milestone year: celebrating the community that has helped sustain our work while looking ahead to the students and families we will serve in the years to come. We are grateful for Punit and Sarah’s continued belief in our mission and thrilled to recognize their support as part of this special anniversary celebration.

We are proud to present the inaugural Founder's Award to Ruth Genn, the organization’s first Executive Director. Ruth played an instrumental role in establishing Bottom Line in New York and building the foundation for the organization it is today. Her leadership, vision, and deep commitment to students helped guide Bottom Line New York through its formative years and set the stage for the growth and impact that followed. As we celebrate 15 years of supporting students on their paths to and through college, we are thrilled to recognize Ruth and the lasting contribution she has made to the Bottom Line community.

In 2011, Bottom Line New York opened its doors in Downtown Brooklyn. 15 years later, we have become a trusted partner to thousands of New York students pursuing a college degree. Bottom Line New York has served more than 8,000 students, helping seventy percent of students to graduate within six years of college enrollment.

And the work is growing. During the 2026–27 academic year alone, Bottom Line New York expects to partner with approximately 2,600 students, including 540 students receiving college-access support. Our Access program grew by 30% this year, and that growth will only continue in the years ahead!

Fifteen years is a milestone worth celebrating and a moment to look forward.

The students beginning their Bottom Line journeys today will become New York’s graduates, professionals, leaders, neighbors, and changemakers tomorrow. Cheers to Fifteen Years celebrates everything this community has made possible and invites all of us to help shape the next fifteen.
