#GivingTuesdayNow

Goddard will be taking part in the nationwide #GivingTuesdayNow event next Tuesday, May 5! Watch your email for a chance to support our COVID-related work or host your own fundraiser.

When Coronavirus hit, we had to change everything about the way we work. Every one of our 27 programs was built on face-to-face contact; suddenly that posed a threat to the community we love. Find out how we changed and what we're doing to protect and nurture the people around us.

Clare was an Upper West Sider who lived modestly and spent decades fighting for low-income tenants. She was full of surprises—and her final surprise left us speechless with gratitude.

We've rounded up some of the best resources for getting through the COVID crisis. Here's how to keep the children engaged, get food for yourself or a neighbor, and find support with rent and other financial issues.

Instead of a meal, just bring yourself! This Community Arts online gathering will be a chance to connect with each other while enjoying short performances from our talented network of artists. You're welcome to perform or watch.
Our Learning to Work Program Helps you Finish High School

LTW at West Side High School supports students to reengage with school, overcome barriers to attendance and stay on track to get their diplomas. It helps you develop a concrete plan for work or further study and offers paid internships to build a strong resume. Learn more and apply to transfer today!
We love the pictures children have been drawing for older adults sheltering in place on the Upper West Side! Want to pitch in? Send a letter or note to an older adult at:
