The official NYC website invites people who want to help victims of Hurricane Sandy to go to the official NYC Service website. From there, you’re invited to donate through the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, which is also hosted on the official NYC.GOV website. So what is the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City. It’s an independent 501(c)3 charity, the majority of whose Board of Directors is beholden to guess which Mayor?

Here is the list of Directors:
Patricia E. Harris, Chair
Nanette Smith, Secretary
Anthony Crowell
John Feinblatt
Dennis Walcott
