The New York Foundation, established in 1909, is one of the oldest foundations in the country, known for its steadfast support of community organizing, grassroots advocacy, and movement-building. With a mission to confront systemic barriers and inspire people to work towards a more just, equitable, and inclusive city, the Foundation funds initiatives centered around racial, economic, gender, disability, and climate justice, led by Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA people, women, and people of color.
Through its history of providing grants to civil rights, medical research, and youth development, the New York Foundation has become a critical supporter of community organizing and grassroots advocacy, playing a vital role in the growth of many leading social justice groups in the city. Believing in the power of marginalized communities coming together to build transformative change, the Foundation resources and trusts grassroots groups, working to move power out of philanthropy and into the hands of the communities it serves.
