About OneNYC
OneNYC Inc. is a nonpartisan, New York–registered 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to bridging and anchoring solutions across business, government, labor, capital, and community to improve lives and expand opportunity for all New Yorkers.
We operate at the intersection of these stakeholders—not as observers, but as builders—turning ideas into action through execution, accountability, and long-term capacity building.
At a time of increasing division and declining trust in institutions, OneNYC is focused on restoring alignment and delivering results—ensuring New York's diversity becomes a source of strength, not fragmentation.
Our Focus
We concentrate our efforts on the sectors most critical to New York City's future. These sectors sit at the core of economic mobility, long-term competitiveness, and the City's ability to deliver for current and future generations.
Our Approach
Our core philosophy is grounded in driving equity, economic growth, and productivity—by significantly increasing civic engagement, particularly within communities that have lost faith in the political and governance process.
Meaningful progress requires:
- Rebuilding trust between communities and institutions
- Aligning incentives across public and private stakeholders
- Mobilizing capital and leadership toward measurable outcomes
- Creating pathways for communities to actively shape policy and implementation
What Makes OneNYC Different

Innovation
We design and launch cross-sector innovation labs to develop, test, and implement practical solutions to critical city challenges.
Workforce
We build talent pipelines and cross-sector mobility, creating pathways to jobs, leadership, and long-term economic participation.
Capacity Building
We strengthen institutions through leadership development and execution capability, enabling organizations to deliver at scale.
Partnerships
We structure and activate public-private partnerships that bring together capital, expertise, and community insight to drive measurable impact.
