The Economic Climate
In this uncertain period in the economic life of our city, state, country, and world, Philanthropy New York is working diligently to inform our members about the steps being taken by both government officials and their fellow grantmakers.
In addition, we are collecting resources and insights from the philanthropic sector to provide our members with knowledge, observations, and advice for funders and the grantees they support. We are also hosting special programs and events focusing specifically on our economy and the challenges ahead.
Members who would like to share information from and with their colleagues and peers should feel free to contact us at 212-714-0699 and info@philanthropynewyork.org.
