What the money paid for, in its own words
FY2025 · Form 990, Part III · the three largest programs by expenseDevelopmental disabilities - the foundling provides support for people with developmental disabilities throughout the New York metropolitan area, reaching more than 1000 adults and children every year. Our programs create a supportive and nurturing environment, helping the people we serve strive toward independence and become thriving members of their communities
Child welfare - the foundling is known locally, nationally, and internationally for our evidence-based programs for children, adolescents, and families. Evidence-based programs are proven to be the most effective programs to strengthen families and prevent the need for child welfare system involvement. The success of these programs result in major taxpayer savings, and, most importantly, keeps families safe, supported, and together
Education - at the New York Foundling, we see education as the pathway to independence. All of our programs lay the groundwork for healthy development, wellbeing, and self-determination by teaching critical life and learning skills. We understand that education is much more than what happens in a classroom, and includes families learning to communicate, individuals with developmental disabilities learning job skills, and children who have experienced trauma learning study skills
