The Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies (FPWA) is a social services institution in New York City. FPWA has, since its inception in 1922, had the goal of promoting the social and economic well-being of greater New York’s most vulnerable people by strengthening human service organizations and advocating for just public policies. Its building, formerly known as the Church Missions House, is an historic landmark. ==History== FPWA was originally named the Federation of Institutions Caring for Protestant Children. It was founded in response to a request in 1920 from the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Public Welfare, seeking representatives of religious social welfare organizations to form an advisory committee. FPWA exists today with a membership of almost 300 social service agencies and churches throughout New York City and the surrounding area. Its policy efforts focus on issues of income security, child welfare, childcare and education, elderly welfare, workforce development, youth services, HIV and AIDS, and offers scholarship programs and emergency financial assistance through the New York Times Neediest Cases Fund.〔 Retrieved on August 28, 2007〕 In addition, in 2007 it was among over 530 New York City arts and social service institutions to receive part of a $30 million grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.〔 Retrieved on August 28, 2007〕
