We are a
movement-builder and an incubator for ideas.
The Public Policy and Education Fund of New York drives transformational change and creates economic, racial, environmental, and social justice across New York.
Our mission is to work to make economic, racial, environmental, and social justice a reality by building bridges and laying the foundation to achieve lasting structural reforms.

Our Impact

PPEF brings New York closer to the world we envision through movement building in order to create transformational change. Our model has 3 basic elements:
  • We win issue campaigns
  • We build power and infrastructure
  • We provide an alternate vision

Support Us

Take action now to help create a state filled with thriving communities driven by progressive values. It is a New York where ALL OF US — those upstate and downstate, of every race, gender, and background — can live with dignity, equity, and security… a New York where ALL people can prosper, and thrive.
This bold vision is possible, but only if we work together.
