The American Guru

The American Guru supports grassroots causes and community projects across New York. The organization operates from a brick walk-up on 626 Riverside Drive, Apt 4D—a corner of the Upper West Side where storefront clinics and storefront arts groups share the block. Programs pivot on advocacy, fundraising, and direct outreach; recent campaigns have centered on tenant protections, immigrant services, and small-business microgrants. Need the phone number? The place keeps a short roster of walk-in advisers; call (718) 971-4498 to confirm availability. If you’re charting a course, the directions drop you right at the door. That’s all there is to it.
