[alumNY News] hackNights begin this month! +Fundraising & Fiscal Sponsorship Updates
Giving Tuesday Campaign
Our end of year fundraising campaign is off to an amazing start, we’re already halfway to our goal of 92 monthly donors (25% of alumNY). As part of our overall fundraising strategy, this strong support allows us to show larger donors and foundations that our community is thriving, engaged and worthy of investment.
Please consider helping hackNY continue its mission to empower the next generation of responsible leaders. If you have already donated, thank you! (Reminder, we also accept donations via crypto, stock and DAF)

hackNY Fiscal Sponsorship announcement
I’m pleased to announce that hackNY has partnered with longtime hackNY friend Gary Chou as a fiscal sponsor. His project investigates if there is an entrepreneurial pathway for social impact projects, similar to the established VC model, but for mission driven ventures with social change as the goal rather than pure profit.
Given hackNY’s mission and history with entrepreneurship and social good, we found this to be a well-aligned project to sponsor. For more information on the project and what fiscal sponsorship entails, visit the hackNY blog.
