Foundation and corporate partners provide support for Urban Pathways’ programs and services. Much of this comes in the form of grants, but volunteer activities, in-kind donations and other types of support are equally important, and equally vital to the well-being of our clients.
When the coronavirus pandemic put New York on PAUSE in March of this year, our foundation and corporate supporters immediately approached Urban Pathways with offers of support. In total, we raised more than $565,000 in the first months of the pandemic.
This funding helped us to provide everything from masks to cleaning supplies to supplemental food packages for the men and women in our programs. In addition to support from some long-established partners, we also added several new foundations to our roster, and are looking forward to strengthening these partnerships through the months and years ahead.
