Invest in access to high-quality healthcare in our community.
Many FQHCs in New York City and across the country cultivate philanthropic investment to bring a broader range of programs and health care services than federal grants and fees for patient services allow for.
Philanthropy opens the door to improving the organization’s core capacity, acquiring much-needed equipment, expanding preventive services, hiring doctors and nurses, enabling greater community outreach through our Community Health Workers, & so much more.
