Building Futures

We work to build futures for our neighbors.

Since 1869, The New York Foundling has supported hundreds of thousands of children, adults, and families on their own paths to stability, strength, and independence. Our evidence-based and research-backed programs and services connect our communities with the opportunities to grow strong, and the tools to shape their own future.

OUR PURPOSE & WHAT DRIVES US

We believe that all people—no matter circumstance or zip code—should have the opportunity to thrive. But for all of us, discovering what we are capable of and reaching our full potential requires support along the way. With an effective and interrelated set of services, we work in partnership with our neighbors who create transformational change in their own lives.

Trusting in the Power and Potential of People. Since 1869.
