FundaveNYC's (pronounced fund-av-eh NYC) mission is to accelerate asylum seekers' and immigrants’ transition into thriving New York City residents. We strive to empower and advocate for our community by paving the way, creating solutions, and building connections. We do this through four focus areas:
1) HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE: Welcomers provide food, clothing and connect to health services and community groups.
2) WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: Mentors help our community navigate the system to obtain employment through work permit assistance, training, resume prep, and work opportunities.
3) AFFORDABLE HOUSING: Certified Ambassadors assist New Yorkers in obtaining affordable housing (paying less than 30% of income) through workshops, in-person and online support.
4) COMMUNITY BUILDING: Leaders coordinate sports teams, affinity groups, and recreational/cultural events, uniting us in pursuing self-actualization.
WHO WE ARE
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 community's needs sets us apart in providing effective short-term assistance and building long-term solutions. Our focus on relationship-building creates a strong organization that can contribute significantly to resolving struggles our city faces.
Our values are Respect, Solidarity, and Leadership. We keep empathy and kindness at the forefront with each individual we come into contact with. We also equip our team with the technical and power skills necessary to create positive impact.
OUR VISION
We are committed to supporting holistic wellbeing for anyone in need across the five boroughs, and aim to become the top provider of HPD-certified Housing Ambassadors.
