FPWA is an Equal Opportunity Employer. FPWA is committed to employing people who reflect the diversity of New York City, our member agencies and the communities and people they serve.
*AmeriCorps, Peace Corps, and other national service alumni are encouraged to apply.
Since 1922, FPWA has driven groundbreaking policy reforms to better serve those in need.
FPWA works to dismantle the systemic barriers that impede economic security and well-being, and strengthen the capacity of human service agencies and faith organizations so New Yorkers with lower incomes can thrive and live with dignity.
We work closely with our network of member agencies, faith partners, coalitions, allies, and strategic collaborations to influence policy, legislation, and budget outcomes to address the needs of struggling New Yorkers. We engage with policymakers at the city, state and federal level to effect systemic change that positively impacts children, families, and individuals across generations.
The interactive open data dashboard helps you visualize and track the city budget, with a specific focus on the critical human services funding we rely on.
