The Community Service Society of New York is an independent, 501(c)(3) designated nonprofit organization established in 1939. Originally formed in 1843 as a charity providing direct assistance to the poor, its mission has evolved to include research and advocacy, including voicing their support for underprivileged students as well as offering legal and informational support services for other organizations that work with low-income individuals. It is one of the seven organizations supported by The New York Times' "Neediest Cases Fund".
