Believe New York - Support Our Work This Summer!

Donation protected
Believe New York is collecting donations to support our work as our organization continues to move forward and grow this summer! Since we restarted our services and outreach model almost one year ago (July 20, 2020), our organization has had a lot of success helping people in need. However, there is a lot more to be done and honestly, we are just getting started. Please consider donating to support our mission to improve NYC (and beyond) for all of us!

ALL Donations are tax deductible for 2022 (next year's taxes!)

Believe New York is a new, pending 501c(3) nonprofit, located in New York City. Our mission is to improve the lives of all New Yorkers, and beyond, and ensure all people regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, gender, and/or race can find and have access to the resources they need to survive and thrive. We target all individuals and families who need help, specifically individuals experiencing poverty, homelessness, mental illness, domestic violence, discrimination, unemployment, disability, loss, trauma, or any form of hardship that impacts their well-being. Please visit https://www.believeny.org  for more information about our work and programs!
