Your Giving Heart Makes NYC Home For Entrepreneurs

Picture a hole-in-the-wall delicatessen on 125th Street during the busy mid-morning rush. As dozens of commuters rush through, grabbing their sandwiches and coffee, the owner, Lucas, steps into the backroom for a breather. Then, Lucas notices the pile of bills on the counter, and his anxiety spikes. There’s no time to sort through them, and he doesn’t have the financial help he really needs to structure his business. Lucas steps back into the rush and noise, where the line to place an order keeps growing.

Lucas’s deli, the nail salon on your corner, and your next-door neighbor’s event planning business all keep our local economy humming and offer financial independence to hardworking small business owners. Your gift makes it possible for us to provide critical small-business resources to community entrepreneurs like Lucas. From free business classes to advising, from community empowerment to financial help, you can help even the playing field. With your generosity and vision for an empowered community, you can join NYPACE in our efforts to make New York a city for everyone.
