The Fund for Public Health in New York (FPHNY) is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization that was launched by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) in 2004. FPHNY works with DOHMH to raise funding for innovative programs and expand programs that work. To date, FPHNY has secured and managed over $100 million in grant funding.
FPHNY enables business people, philanthropists, and ordinary citizens to become the strategic partners of city government. This public-private alliance is powerful and essential for tackling the most pressing public health challenges of the 21st century and for protecting and improving the health of New Yorkers. The ability of FPHNY to leverage private sector partnership has helped DOHMH expand its capacity to move its health agenda forward faster to the benefit of all New Yorkers.
If we are going to have an environment that enables us to make healthier choices and to live longer, healthier lives, then all of us - policymakers, community organizations, businesses and ordinary citizens - must work together to make this possible.
