FPWA’s fiscal policy team provides fiscal and economic analysis aimed at advancing the economic security of all New Yorkers. Through our analysis, FPWA empowers human service nonprofits and community members with the policy insights they need to advance dignity and security for all New Yorkers.

Advocates can use the tool to access essential facts and figures related to New York City’s revenue and expenditures, or use the tool to understand long-term trends affecting the City’s ability to help New Yorker’s thrive.
Through our NYC Budget Watch series, FPWA unravels the city’s complex budgetary documents to provide key takeaways and analysis at each stage of New York City’s budget process.

FPWA has recently been receiving claims from members of the public emailing and calling our offices that individuals posing as FPWA agents have contacted them claiming that in order for the recipient to claim grant monies from FPWA they must first send the agent personal information, a cell phone number, gift card codes or money.
FPWA does not use social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), text messages or direct phone contact to solicit, review, or make awards. FPWA staff will not call or message you requesting money in order to be eligible for an award.
Further, FPWA does not make grants directly to individuals. FPWA works with its member agency partners and other reputable community-based organizations to direct support to families and individuals in our community.
If you or someone you know has been contacted by someone posing to be an “FPWA Agent” or staff person requesting money to release a grant, please do the following:
