THE NEIGHBORHOOD GUILD, EST 1886

Help Ensure Social Justice, Equity, and Joy

The Neighborhood Guild is a community of committed University Settlement donors on a mission to ensure that all New Yorkers have equal access to the resources and opportunities that will allow them to live healthy, remarkable, and joyous lives. Members of the Neighborhood Guild know that wherever you’re from, if you live here, you’re a New Yorker, and that means taking on our most treasured tradition of looking out for our neighbors and investing in the communities we call home.

Etched into the entrance of our historical headquarters at 184 Eldridge Street will forever be the name of “The Neighborhood Guild.” The Neighborhood Guild founded our organization as a group of neighbors committed to creating their vision for a more equitable NYC. As we reintroduce The Neighborhood Guild as a Monthly Giving Program, we invite you to join this historic group and etch your own mark on the city for years to come.

"Once I began my professional career, I started thinking about the right way to support University Settlement's broader work and decided that something sustainable was the best choice."

Create Responsive and Innovative Resources in Your Community

Responsiveness
Monthly donations bolster our ability to mobilize quickly and provide lifesaving resources during times of crisis just as we did for 9/11, Hurricane Sandy and the COVID-19 pandemic. The faster we can adapt in a time of crisis, the safer the community is for ALL of us.
Planning Ahead
When we receive reliable monthly donations, we can plan ahead and develop innovative programs that tackle inequities, push justice forward, and build a future we can all look forward to.
Long-lasting Impact
Monthly giving enables us to implement the settlement house model with integrity, providing comprehensive and integrated programs that build community strength. By partnering with our neighbors to address both their immediate needs and the root causes of the issues they and their communities face, we can create long-lasting, sustainable change.
