Astraea Foundation

What does it mean to support social services in a neighborhood where every block tells a different story? The Astraea Foundation operates from a modest office at 116 E 16th St #7, a stretch of Manhattan where community needs shift as quickly as the foot traffic. Organizations like this one often serve as quiet anchors, offering resources that might otherwise slip through the cracks—grants, advocacy, and programs that address gaps in equity and representation. The work isn’t flashy, but it’s the kind of steady presence that keeps a neighborhood from fraying at the edges.

Those who need to connect can reach the foundation at (212) 529-8021, a number that routes directly to staff who handle inquiries about funding cycles, event partnerships, or referrals. The address—116 E 16th St #7 New York, NY 10003—places it within walking distance of Union Square, a hub where public transit and pedestrian flow make access relatively straightforward. For directions, a quick check of the map will confirm the best route. Sometimes, the most impactful work happens where the street noise fades into the background.
