What might start as a solution to your problem can empower a broader community.

Our nonprofit child care center hadn’t received a $30,000 state grant we were owed. We got nowhere with government officials over many months, so I reached out to Civic Helpers. A few days later, they hit on the state IT snafu that had stopped processing of the grant payment. Our families and community benefitted, and hopefully so too did the state agency that learned that this mistake could impact nonprofits all around New York.

Civic Helpers rescuing $475,000 of state funding for health services is a lifeline for LGBT+ organizations around New York. We can't thank them enough.

When Civic Helpers offered to help us cut through government red tape to recover tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid grants, we jumped at the opportunity. Thanks to their incredible expertise, the Slater Center can focus on what we do best: serving seniors, running our food pantry, and providing a vibrant space for young people and the broader White Plains community. Civic Helpers’ Executive Director, David Buchwald, brings a wealth of government knowledge and has been a phenomenal mentor to interns from our youth employment initiative. Civic Helpers is a true partner and the essential backbone that local nonprofits need to succeed. If you want to see grassroots organizations thrive, I urge you to financially back Civic Helpers—your tax-deductible investment strengthens our entire community.
