WHY

FundaveNYC?

Our team is majority immigrant, many Venezuelans and South Americans who risked their lives to escape persecution and difficult conditions in their home countries. The intimate, first-hand understanding of our global family’s needs sets us apart in providing effective short-term assistance and building long-term solutions for asylum seekers and migrants.

Our emphasis on relationship-building creates a strong community that contributes significantly to resolving the struggles our city faces. Our team is blessed with strong leadership, unmatched teamwork, and critical alliances. Our “can-do” spirit, discipline, and professionalism have allowed us to effectively create a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.
