FPWA
Fulfilling the Promise of Opportunity
If you missed our Power Shift event on 1/21, we've got you covered. It's now available for on-demand viewing.
We discussed what is happening in the faith community, government and politics, human services, and philanthropy. And we were excited to be joined by Geoffrey Canada, President of Harlem Children’s Zone for a lively—and inspiring—discussion about leading and serving in today’s world.
It is hard to believe that more than a year ago, many of us were taking our first foray into remote work and experiencing the beginning of what would become an incredibly tumultuous 12 months: Coronavirus pandemic, confirmation that sexual orientation is protected by the equal rights amendment, voices rising against systematic racism, a contentious presidential election and storming of the Capitol. 2020 brought emergency legislation from federal, state and local fronts and 2021 is doing the same. It is important for employers to be able to discern what was, what continued and what is beginning.
In this workshop, we will highlight:
• What HR needs to know now to be compliant
• What is on the horizon
• What needs HR’s attention to get best prepared for what’s to come
FPWA will be hosting a virtual policy briefing about our new report Pushed to the Precipice: How Benefits Cliffs and Gaps Undermine the Safety Net for New Yorkers.
Please join us Tuesday, April 20, 2021 at 11 AM as we share our report findings and recommendations, consider some proposals to address larger financial gaps, and discuss our next steps in the fight to strengthen the safety net.
Black faith leadership has played a central role in encouraging, empowering, and informing Black communities throughout the pandemic. Now we have a vaccine. What is our faith requiring of us in this moment?
Watch this candid conversation about faith and medicine in this ever-evolving COVID moment.

REGISTER NOW | While the height of the pandemic may be behind us, human services organizations continue to experience the impact of Covid-19. This three-part series aims to address some of the most common concerns that faith-based and community-based organizations are facing two years in; ensuring financial stability, leading, and managing through change, and avoiding employee burnout. Please join us in May for tips, strategies, and an honest conversation around these challenging issues.
Join us for a series of in-person community conversations which gathers our member agencies for an intimate conversation in each of the five boroughs.
Join us this Fall for our 6 Foundational Trainings
Nonprofit and faith-based organizations play an integral role in supporting the needs of individuals and communities. Often, these needs stem from generational, interpersonal, systemic, and/or community trauma. To support organizations in addressing both the root causes and manifestations of trauma, FPWA offers a core set of capacity-building trainings, rooted in trauma-informed practices.
These free foundational trainings are available year-to-year and are open to both FPWA member and non-member organizations. The trainings are specifically designed to be relevant and applicable to staff at all levels and any type of role within a nonprofit or faith-based organization.
Join us on January 11 at 10 AM for a briefing on our new report that investigates how the pitfalls of cash assistance programs perpetuate economic insecurity for New Yorkers
