New York is home to more foundations and advocacy groups than almost anywhere, and donors here are asked to give constantly. We help charities, community organizations, and advocacy groups across the five boroughs stand out with mission-first websites, donation pages that convert, Google Ad Grants and paid campaigns, email programs that keep supporters close, and CRM systems that track every gift and volunteer.
The nonprofit sector in New York City
A capital of philanthropy
County Business Patterns counted 1,210 grantmaking and giving organizations with paid staff in the five boroughs in 2023, 950 of them in Manhattan with 22,962 employees. Social advocacy groups added 731 establishments and civic and social organizations 444. Nonprofits compete for donor attention, foundation grants, and talented staff in the same crowded space.
Registration before soliciting
The New York Attorney General says most organizations that hold charitable assets, engage in charitable activities, or solicit contributions in the state, including grants from foundations and government, must register with its Charities Bureau. Charitable organizations must also file annual financial reports with that office. Donors increasingly check registration and filings before giving.
Raising support in a crowded city
Stories over statistics alone
Donors respond to specific people and neighborhoods helped. Pairing real stories with clear outcomes gives supporters both a reason to care and confidence in your work.
Donation pages that convert
Fast, simple giving pages with suggested amounts, monthly options, and mobile wallets raise more than long forms. Small improvements here pay for themselves quickly.
Stewardship builds monthly giving
Prompt thank-you notes, quarterly impact updates, and volunteer invitations turn one-time donors into sustaining supporters who give month after month for years.
