MISSION
ESS transforms the lives and communities of New Yorkers in need.
ESS positively impacts the lives of up to 5,000 of New York City’s most vulnerable residents each
year. ESS strengthens families, promotes the healthy development of children and youth, and
empowers all whom we serve to become self-sufficient to a level at which they are capable.
ESS helps families and individuals break the cycle of poverty through a range of high-impact
services: Foster Care and Adoption, Adolescent Residential Care, Youth Development,
Health Services, Family Preservation, Early Childhood Education, Early Head Start, School-Based
Programming and Developmental Disabilities Services.
Founded in 1831, ESS has a long history of nonsectarian service that is responsive to community
needs. Today, ESS serves high-need communities in the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and
Queens. Each program involves a partnership with public schools, child welfare agencies,
or community service providers.

Chairman & President of the Board, Executive Director
2011 was a wonderful year
for ESS and Sheltering Arms!
THANKS TO YOU!
The stories you will read in this report were made possible by you. You provided hope to young victims of abuse
and neglect. You taught young adults to be responsible for themselves and gave them opportunities to do so.
You encouraged struggling families and gave them the tools they needed to cope. You invested in the education
of low income children and empowered them to succeed. You saved the lives of New Yorkers.
For over 180 years, ESS has been committed to strengthening families and communities. The services
have changed as the needs have changed, but one thing has stayed the same. Generations of caring
New Yorkers have helped us to provide Sheltering Arms to people in need.
Many thanks to YOU.

throughout the year.

are many types of planned gifts we can accept. Please call us to
discuss them.

or call us to discuss your ideas of how you’d like to help.
CORPORATE GIFT: Match or Sponsorship: Corporate support plays a
big role in the success of our fundraising efforts. Corporations may give

may help you market your business! If you make a personal gift, don’t
forget to ask for your company’s matching gift form to double the impact
of your donation.
PERSONAL DONATION: Every dollar given will help sustain our
programs that transform the lives and communities of 5,000 of
New York’s neediest each year. By making a multi-year pledge,
you help plan for not only this year but the future as well.
MEMORIAL OR HONORARIUM GIFT: Give in memory of a loved one or
recognize a special occasionn for the person “who has everything” by
making a gift to ESS in their honor.
THIRD-PARTY EVENT: Organize your own fundraiser! Be creative: throw
a party, run a marathon, sell your old stuff – with the proceeds coming
to ESS. Please call us to discuss your ideas and the guidelines.
SPREAD THE WORD: Learn about ESS by coming on a tour – and bring
a friend! “A few words with ESS” is a one-hour informational session and
tour designed to give our friends an up-close and personal look at what
we do. We promise not to keep you more than an hour and that you will
leave inspired. Please visit our web site, www.essnyc.org, for upcoming
