This coordinated effort brings together generous individuals, corporations, and other philanthropic partners to ensure the city’s newest arrivals have the support they need to thrive, now and in the future.
The Funds work closely with the New York City mayor’s and comptroller’s offices and the New York State governor’s office to facilitate economic inclusion and mobility while strengthening the city’s social service infrastructure and resilience.
In 2024, The New York Community Trust’s Fund for the Newest New Yorkers awarded close to $4 million in two-year grants to support legal and community-based social services for new arrivals to the city. The Robin Hood Foundation’s sister fund made grants in support of case management and partnered with The Trust to support legal services.
