"Since its inception nearly 30 years ago, JAR has developed the ability to see what is invisible to many and gained the experience to know what to do about it," said Naomi Ryan, executive director of the John A. Reisenbach Foundation. "Our goal is to support our existing grantees, whose needs have become more urgent, and also to extend our reach to as many newly vulnerable New Yorkers as possible. Right now the need is greater than the dollars and services available, our goal is to help close that gap."
