The 2024 Nonprofit Trailblazers
Advocates, advisers and service providers improving New York.
The nonprofit sector plays an integral role in American society, providing care for the most vulnerable individuals and advocating for policy changes that improve people’s lives. The 2024 Nonprofit Trailblazers list recognizes a diverse group of visionary leaders who are carrying out this critical work at mission-driven nonprofit organizations across New York. The list, presented by City & State and its sister publication New York Nonprofit Media, features social services organization officials, executives of philanthropies and activists at grassroots organizations pushing for legislative change. These leaders will be honored in person at an evening celebration in Manhattan on Wednesday, May 22, with New York City Deputy Mayor for Strategic Initiatives Ana Almanzar and Department of Social Services Commissioner Molly Wasow Park as keynote speakers. (This list alternates with the Nonprofit Power 100, which will return in 2025.) We’re pleased to introduce this year’s Nonprofit Trailblazers.
