Collaborative Fund

NYC Forward Fund

As New York City prepares to welcome a new mayoral administration during a time of surging community needs, nonprofits will be critical partners in advancing the vision of a more affordable and inclusive city. The NYC Forward Fund is a collaborative philanthropic effort that will support local nonprofits’ capacity to share their expertise and center community voices as the new mayor transitions into office.

The Fund will make grants to New York City nonprofits working in critical areas like housing, education, immigration, workers’ rights, and transportation.

Forward Fund Co-Chairs:

  • Shawn Morehead, The New York Community Trust
  • Rickke Mananzala, New York Foundation
  • Elizabeth Guernsey, Governing for America Fund
