About The Neediest Cases Fund
Established in 1911 by Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of The New York Times, the Neediest Cases Fund has raised over $294 million since its inception.
In its 106th year, the Fund has provided direct assistance to those who are facing tough times in New York and beyond. We’re excited about this year’s campaign, which officially begins on Oct. 15, 2017, and will run through Jan. 12, 2018.
Many of the profiles in The New York Times featured an individual or family who benefited from the Fund and illustrated the difference that even a modest amount of money can make to those who are less fortunate. The money is distributed through the Fund’s eight participating organizations, often in small amounts targeted to specific needs.
The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a not-for-profit public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to the Neediest Cases Fund are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Federal Identification Number: 13-6066063. A copy of the Neediest Cases Fund's latest annual financial report may be obtained, upon request, from the Fund or from the New York State Attorney General's Charities Bureau, Attn: FOIL Officer, 120 Broadway, New York, New York 10271.
