How Your Gift Makes a Difference
Every child in New York City has a right to learn. For over 40 years AFC has protected that right for the children and youth most likely to fall through the cracks of our education system because of their poverty, race, disability, language barriers, homelessness or involvement in the foster care or juvenile justice systems.
With your donation AFC can do a lot of good for NYC children!
Last year, AFC served over 12,000 students and their families
at a cost of only $147 per child.
