Our Funding

Almost all of our funding comes from donations from individuals in Astoria who want to support their neighbors and help us build a community space on Steinway St. We have received some matching funds from our former fiscal sponsor ioby, especially during 2020-2021. We also have received a few grants from other nonprofits, such as the El Mezzi Foundation.

In addition, we recently began sharing our community center with workers from Astoria Worker Project. They have contributed to our rent while they stay with us. Read more about them on their site, and keep an eye out for when they open their own workers' center here in Astoria!
