Reclaim Our Money

A People’s Fight For Justice in NYC Procurement

We demand a procurement system that serves THE PEOPLE, not bureaucracy. Every day that payments are delayed is another day that vital services, resources and power are taken away from the people of New York City.

If you've been victimized by the City's broken contract system — as a nonprofit, worker, or resident — YOUR VOICE IS POWER. Together, we will DEMAND immediate registration and payment, dismantling a system that continues to exploit and hurt our communities.

If you are a NYC non-profit, that was in contract with NYC government from 2020 to present, and the City has not yet fulfilled their contractual obligations, please fill out the form by clicking on the button below and we will reach out to you.

Why This Matters

The City’s money is the people’s money — our tax dollars, earned through our labor, meant to serve our communities. For too long, the City has:

  • Mismanaged funds, diverting resources away from those most in need.

  • Delayed contract registration and payments, driving people and organizations into debt.

  • Clung to an outdated and unjust reimbursement model that harms nonprofits, workers, and residents alike.

This effort is driven by a coalition of nonprofit leaders, advocates, legal experts, and impacted individuals who've suffered under this system — resilient nonprofit champions, community advocates, legal defenders, and residents who are determined to have their voices heard.

We’re calling on nonprofits and service providers to help us assess the true impact of delayed city payments. If the city owes you money, stand with us by completing our confidential survey.

Your testimony builds our power. Your input is crucial to ensuring nonprofits and the communities they serve get the resources they deserve. Together, we won't just ask for change — WE WILL CREATE IT.
