Why Support Matters
Long Island’s nonprofits are doing the frontline work of building stronger, safer, and more equitable communities—from feeding families and mentoring youth to expanding housing, mental health, and economic access.
Yet many of these organizations face a hidden crisis: not a lack of passion, but a lack of infrastructure. Small to mid-sized nonprofits are underfunded, digitally underserved, and often isolated from the resources they need to grow.
When you support Long Island Nonprofits, you’re investing in the infrastructure that helps every mission move forward.
Our work powers visibility, access, and capacity-building for the nonprofits that power Long Island.

Why It’s Urgent
Thousands of Long Island nonprofits are doing life-changing work—but too many are doing it with outdated tools, limited visibility, and no strategic support.
Over 6,000 nonprofits serve Long Island—but most operate without the digital infrastructure or staff capacity to scale their impact.
Vital causes go unseen—not because people don’t care, but because there's no central system to connect them.
Without investment in shared infrastructure, these organizations stay invisible—and communities stay underserved.
