New York City
Education, literacy, and the everyday essentials that let a family stand.
We fund the classroom, the library, and the pantry — for New York families who are working, not waiting.
(a) Mission
We believe a child's education is only as strong as the family around it. So we fund the whole perimeter — the books, the meals, and the steady ground underneath.
(b) Focus
Education
Classroom support
Tutoring, supplies, and scholarships for students across the city's hardest-pressed neighborhoods.
Literacy
Books that stay
Home libraries and weekend reading programs so a child always has a book within reach.
Essentials
Everyday needs
Groceries, clothing, and emergency aid delivered quietly, so dignity is never the price of help.
(c) Impact
I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
