Created as a non-profit organization in 1979 by New York City-based foundations, Philanthropy New York enhances and increases the ability of organizational and individual philanthropists located in the New York region, whose missions focus on New York, the United States, and around the globe, to serve the public good.
Philanthropy New York created its Documentary Series to get our members thinking about alternative mediums for promoting their missions. Special thanks the Ford Foundation for their generous support of our Documentary Series, and the Paley Center for Media for hosting our screenings.
