Welcome to the New York City Chapter of the National Organization for Women!

We are proud to be the founding chapter of NOW. Since 1966 we have worked to advance women's rights and improve the quality of life for women. Through education, public-awareness campaigns and lobbying we work towards creating a culture in which diversity flourishes. We also work to improve access to reproductive freedom and other women's health issues, dismantle racism and bigotry against lesbians and gays through education; and end domestic violence, sexual violence and trafficking of women with stronger laws and better policing. We work to create social change through activism, lobbying and education.

The Service Fund is NOW-NYC's charitable sister agency, a 501(c)(3). It is one of New York City's most active and important charities. The Service Fund has been serving women in NYC for the past 25 years. Whether a woman seeks divorce and custody legal advice, or is a victim of sexual assault, the Service Fund connects women to NOW-NYC programs and clinics and other agencies that serve women in need. Especially in desperate or dangerous situations, such as domestic violence or stalking, women need a place they can turn to for immediate assistance. Hundreds of women call the Service Fund every year seeking information and help.
