How you can Help

FPWA member organizations help low-income New Yorkers meet critical needs, like food, housing, healthcare, and more.

How We Do It

Fostering effective, lasting change requires providing assistance to New Yorkers. But it is also essential to educate on the entrenched structural biases that cause poverty and inequality, and advocate for policy that dismantles it.

FPWA has recently been receiving claims from members of the public emailing and calling our offices that individuals posing as FPWA agents have contacted them claiming that in order for the recipient to claim grant monies from FPWA they must first send the agent personal information, a cell phone number, gift card codes or money.

FPWA does not use social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), text messages or direct phone contact to solicit, review, or make awards. FPWA staff will not call or message you requesting money in order to be eligible for an award.

Further, FPWA does not make grants directly to individuals. FPWA works with its member agency partners and other reputable community-based organizations to direct support to families and individuals in our community.

If you or someone you know has been contacted by someone posing to be an “FPWA Agent” or staff person requesting money to release a grant, please do the following:
