For 130 years, The Fresh Air Fund has been taking New York's needy children to places far away from double-locked doors and dangerous city streets -- where the sky is full of stars, and a fresh perspective shows them life's possibilities.
These children depend on the generosity of people like you.
Your tax-deductible donation will help send needy children on free country vacations to the homes of caring volunteer families along the Eastern Seaboard or to one of our five camps in upstate New York.

About The Fresh Air Fund
Since 1877, we’ve given more than 1.7 million needy children the chance to swim in a cool mountain lake . . . to roast marshmallows over a crackling campfire . . . to see the star-studded sky . . . affecting their lives forever. Learn more about The Fund.
Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund, a not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations in the country to more than 1.7 million New York City children from disadvantaged communities. Each year, thousands of children visit volunteer host families in 13 states and Canada through the Friendly Town Program or attend Fresh Air Fund camps.
Thanks to host families who open up their homes for a few weeks each summer, children growing up in New York City’s toughest neighborhoods have experienced the joys of Fresh Air vacations.
The Fresh Air Fund relies on the generosity of volunteers to run many of our programs. In addition to the host families in the suburbs and small towns, volunteers in New York City help by lending assistance in the office, at camp and in the community. Volunteers share their time and efforts individually or often participate in “team projects.”
