Help Keep ECDO, Forever Harlem Here for Harlem

For more than 40 years, ECDO, Forever Harlem has been here for Harlem, preserving affordable homes, educating children, strengthening families, and helping our community thrive.

Today, we need Harlem to be here for us.

ECDO has lost more than $800,000 in Head Start funding while absorbing nearly $200,000 in annual losses from our affordable housing portfolio. Rising costs are putting even more pressure on an organization that has spent decades serving this community.

And the stakes are real.

3,500+ tenants and community members.
700+ affordable housing units.
110+ children and families served each year.

These are not just numbers. They are Harlem families, children, homes, and the people who work every day to support them.

We cannot continue as we are.

Your support can help ECDO stabilize our operations, protect affordable housing, sustain our Early Learn services, and keep our staff working for the community they serve.

After 40 years, we are asking our community to stand with ECDO, Forever Harlem.

Give today. Help us keep Harlem home.

It's Time to Stand with ECDO!

Harlem Needs ECDO. ECDO Needs You.
