Help us make it happen

CUP is a non-profit organization. We are funded in large part by private contributions, and foundation support. If you support our work and are in a position to donate, volunteer or make in-kind contributions, please help us make it happen.

Donate

Whether you can contribute $5 or $5000, private donations are crucial for keeping CUP running. While we receive grants and contracts to support specific projects, many of the bread-and-butter activities of running an organization require the general support provided by the generosity of individual contributors. CUP is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. All cash and in-kind contributions to CUP are tax-deductible and fully support our educational programming.

You can send your tax-exempt contributions to

CUP
232 Third Street #B402B
Brooklyn, NY 11215

You can also contribute via PayPal or Network for Good.
