Mission

CITY FUTURES, INC. IS A CATALYST FOR SMART AND SUSTAINABLE POLICIES THAT REDUCE INEQUALITY, INCREASE ECONOMIC MOBILITY AND GROW THE ECONOMY IN NEW YORK CITY. AN INDEPENDENT, NONPARTISAN POLICY ORGANIZATION, CUF USES FACT-BASED RESEARCH TO ELEVATE IMPORTANT AND OFTEN OVERLOOKED ISSUES ONTO THE RADAR OF POLICYMAKERS AND ADVANCE PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS THAT STRENGTHEN NEW YORK AND HELP ALL NEW YORKERS PARTICIPATE IN THE CITY'S RISING PROSPERITY.

  • FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, CUF HAS CONSISTENTLY SHAPED THE POLICY DEBATE AROUND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IN NEW YORK BY PUBLISHING REPORTS THAT ARE WIDELY COVERED IN THE MEDIA, HIGHLY READABLE AND ANCHORED IN RIGOROUS RESEARCH RATHER THAN PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS ABOUT OUTCOME. CUF'S EFFORTS TO CREATE A MORE PROSPEROUS, EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE NEW YORK SPAN MANY TOPICS AND POLICY AREAS, AND ARE UNIFIED BY THEIR COMMON AIMS: GROWING NEW YORK CITY'S ECONOMY AND BOOSTING THE NUMBER OF MIDDLE INCOME JOBS; HELPING MORE PEOPLE DEVELOP THE SKILLS AND CREDENTIALS NEEDED TO ACCESS CAREERS THAT PUT THEM ON THE PATH TO THE MIDDLE CLASS; AND MAKING NEW YORK CITY AND ITS MANY AND DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE. CUF'S REPORTS DO NOT SIT ON A SHELF; THEY ARE ACTION-ORIENTED DOCUMENTS THAT ROUTINELY SPARK POLICY CHANGES AND SERVE AS AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE FOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, NONPROFIT PRACTITIONERS, BUSINESS LEADERS AND PHILANTHROPIC LEADERS AS THEY ADVOCATE FOR, AND IMPLEMENT POLICIES FOR, ADDRESSING NEW YORK'S BIGGEST OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES. OUR WORK HAS INFLUENCED THE CREATION OF NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES FOR LOW-INCOME ENTREPRENEURS, PAVED THE WAY FOR AN EXPANSION OF YOUTH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND SPARKED NEW POLICIES TO SUPPORT AGING IMMIGRANTS. RECENTLY, OUR WORK DOCUMENTED THE VITAL ROLE OF BRANCH LIBRARIES IN EMPOWERING DISADVANTAGED NEW YORKERS AND LAID THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE LARGEST EVER INCREASE IN FUNDING FOR THE CITY'S PUBLIC LIBRARIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
