Interested in supporting local nonprofits doing great work? Look no further. We’ve gathered a selection of our 2023 giving guides with suggestions for where to give—whether you want to feed those facing hunger, improve education, defend workers’ rights, help people with disabilities thrive, or build a more equitable society.
We’ve supported all of these organizations and seen them in action, and we know they would put your generosity to good work. Of course, these groups represent only a fraction of our region’s incredible nonprofit sector. Explore more giving guides in our newsroom and contact us if you want ideas on how or where to give in any other issue areas you care about.
For many, the holidays are a time to gather and create meals and memories. Yet one in seven New Yorkers don’t have access to enough affordable, nutritious food. This guide includes nonprofits helping our neighbors come to the table now and throughout the year.
There is an ecosystem of education nonprofits that work alongside our public schools to offer enrichment, shape curricula, train teachers, and more. These groups help young people pursue their dreams and seize opportunities, gain critical thinking skills to navigate an increasingly complex world, and promote empathy and understanding. In this guide, we suggest several groups making sure our education system works for all.

Our region is home to an incredibly diverse Latinx population. Earlier this year, we highlighted local nonprofits providing immigrants with opportunities, stewarding rich cultural histories, and ensuring Latinx New Yorkers have a say in the issues that affect them.
New York has long led the way in defending workers’ rights; the nonprofits in this guide build paths to employment for jobseekers with barriers, advocate for the well-being of workers, and work toward a more inclusive economy.
Support New Yorkers with Disabilities
Disability is a rich part of human diversity, and something nearly all of us will experience at some point in our lives. More than 3 million New Yorkers report having a disability. And while progress has been made, people with disabilities still face systemic barriers to full participation in society. These nonprofits advance the rights of people with disabilities and provide services to help them thrive.
