In the Community

The Association contributes to various charitable organizations in the New York City area through our Community Grant program and through other charitable initiatives and events.

Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund

Intrepid Team Extreme was born a vision shared by a group of ordinary people with a passion for making a difference in the lives of others. Members of the team are pushing their physical limits in a variety of extreme athletic events to raise money for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which provides services for wounded heroes in uniform.

Phipps Neighborhoods

Phipps Neighborhoods provides children, youth, and families from low-income communities in the South Bronx the opportunities they need to rise above poverty through comprehensive education and career programs, and access to community services. They recognize lasting change often requires more than one service so they also focus on integrating participants with other comprehensive and helpful programs or community partnerships.

Project FIND

In 1967, the National Council on Aging established Project FIND as part of a federal demonstration project designed to develop a national picture of the elderly poor.

Project FIND’s mission is to provide low- and moderate-income and homeless seniors with the services and support they need to enrich their lives and live independently.

Today Project FIND operates three supportive housing residences that are home to about 600 people and four seniors centers with over 3,000 members.
