The Daphne Foundation invests in organizations that empower community residents directly affected by poverty, violence, and  discrimination to develop solutions that result in a more equitable, fair, and peaceful New York City.

After over three decades of supporting grassroots organizations in New York City, we are writing to share that the Daphne Foundation is preparing to spend down its assets over the next few years. Our goal is to make focused and increased investments in community organizing infrastructure that protects, defends, and expands a multi-racial and inclusive democracy.
