The Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies has been a prominent force in New York City's social service system for 85 years, meeting the needs of New Yorkers and supporting the agencies that deliver human services. Founded in 1922 to coordinate the efforts of New York's Protestant child care agencies, today FPWA is one of the city's premier social service support organizations. 

We have branched beyond our original faith-based membership, and provide management assistance, capacity building, and advocacy services to close to 300 member agencies and churches throughout the City's five boroughs and beyond. Together, our network serves more than 1.5 million New Yorkers of all ages and ethnicities. In addition to our work with member agencies, we also provide group purchasing, information and referral, and other services to any not-for-profit organization in need of our assistance.
