Give Today

With your help, we can say “yes” to more great projects making life better in New York.

 

You choose how we put your gift to work:

  • Critical Needs: Respond to New York’s most urgent problems.
  • 2020 Census: Count all New Yorkers.
  • LGBTQ Focus: Ensure housing, health, rights and recognition for this community.

We welcome the participation of new and current donors. We’re delighted to report to you how your money makes an impact.

Four easy ways to give:

  • Give by credit card. Indicate which area you’d like to support.
  • Contact Gay Young at (212) 686-2234
  • Write a check to Community Funds, Inc., 909 Third Ave, 22nd Floor, New York, NY 10022 (on the memo line, note which area you prefer: Critical Needs, 2020 Census, or LGBTQ Focus)
  • If you have a donor-advised fund, we’ll transfer your gift. If you use MyNYCT, look for the Annual Fund tab.

Don’t forget to check if your employer makes matching gifts! Some companies will double or triple your contribution, increasing the impact of your gift.

My husband and I love giving to the Annual Fund. It’s a smart and strategic way to
make an impact, and an opportunity to fund great groups that aren’t on our radar.
