 Celebrating philanthropy for social change
|
North Star Fund is the community foundation that advances the collective good. For 28 years, we have been the first to fund the fight for equality, economic justice and peace in New York City. By organizing donors, raising money for grants, and providing technical assistance, we support activism that focuses on the root causes of poverty, racism, homophobia and gender discrimination. Since our founding in 1979, North Star has distributed over 27 million dollars to 3,709 groups working to ensure a more equitable and democratic city for all New Yorkers. From kitchen table activists to national coalitions, North Star’s courageous grantees have led efforts on issues ranging from better schools, housing and health care, to protecting civil liberties, stopping domestic violence, creating living wage jobs, and advocating for peace, freedom and human rights.
