FPWA’s NYC Funds Tracker monitors New York City’s revenue and the flow to budget expenditures. It is intended to shine a light on the fiscal workings of the city government and can be used by advocates, policy makers and anyone who wants to learn more about the city’s funding decisions. The NYC Funds Tracker has a particular focus on the human services sector, reflecting FPWA’s mission to ensure an equitable, just, and appropriately resourced human services sector that is responsive to the needs of New Yorkers.
Our policy, advocacy, and research establishes policy priorities on an annual basis. As new issues emerge and existing ones evolve, FPWA rises to meet and address new challenges.
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:
