About Children’s Aid

Children’s Aid works to end generational poverty. Since their founding in 1853, they have been anchored in the knowledge that poverty cannot be overcome with a single service delivered at a single point in time. Reaching nearly 50,000 children and families each year, Children’s Aid provides comprehensive supports to those living in the most under-resourced neighborhoods in New York City. The issues are complex, but as one of New York City’s largest and most innovative child-focused nonprofits, Children’s Aid mission is simple: to help children living in poverty succeed and thrive.
