The Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City cultivates partnerships that combine the incomparable reach of government with the entrepreneurial spirit of the private sector to create a stronger and more just city for all New Yorkers. We are enormously grateful for the support of the individuals, foundations, and corporations that generously donate and partner with us to improve the lives of New Yorkers.

Initiative Highlights

Asylum Seeker Relief Fund supports asylum seekers with relief programs and services that address a range of needs including immediate survival needs, legal information and services, workforce support, housing and relocation services, among others.

Civic Innovation supports Mayor's Fund’s ongoing operations and our ability to advance key City initiatives including expanding career pathways for youth, supportive services, and emergency relief.

Diversity in Journalism Fund, launched in July 2023, will support the next generation of journalists and ensure that our newsrooms are as diverse as they communities they cover. Donations will support scholarships for New York City students of color to pursue a career in journalism.
