New York State Comptroller Thomas P.

The new section offers access to reliable information on how to start a 501c3, how to deal with tax and labor issues, and finding grants and other financial assistance. DiNapoli launched the site at the Bronx Forum Financial Education Summit held at Hostos Community College in the Bronx. DiNapoli’s office partnered with Bronx Borough President Rubin Diaz Jr.’s Office, Hostos Community College, and the Jewish Community Relations Council of NY/CAUSE-NY to host the event. “Nonprofit organizations are vital to New York, not only for the services they provide but for the jobs they create,” DiNapoli said. “There are more than 24,000 nonprofits in New York with revenues of $133 billion and nearly 1.2 million employees, about 17 percent of the State’s workforce.

This new section of Your Money New York is a great start.” The new nonprofit section at Your Money New York has a wide range of information suitable for nonprofit providers in all stages of development.
