Newsday Charities
As a Newspaper, it's our responsibility to provide the news and information our readers need. As a Long Island business, it's our obligation to respond to the needs of the community. Today young people are in great need of support. In 2005 Newsday changed the focus of its charitable giving to focus specifically on enhancing opportunities for children and youth at risk.
Newsday distributes approximately $1 million every year to local nonprofit agencies in order to help them deliver essential services. Most of Newsday's giving is made possible by donations from everyday readers who support Newsday Charities' two annual fund-raisers: Help-A-Family and Kids Campaign.
Costs for these fundraisers are covered by Newsday and Newsday Charities. The first $600,000 donated this year through Newsday Charities will be matched 50 cents on the dollar by McCormick Foundation, which means even more money is placed into our local community.
