Support Big Apple Greeter

Big Apple Greeter is a small organization with a large, worldwide impact. Since 1992, Big Apple Greeter’s free public service has promoted New York City worldwide and helped 100,000 visitors discover the City’s ethnically and culturally diverse neighborhoods through the eyes of those who know it best – New Yorkers.

Big Apple Greeter has much to be proud of despite the ongoing financial challenges posed by a weak economy. We have worked hard to raise dollars and save dollars, all without sacrificing the quality or quantity of Big Apple Greeter’s work.

We continue to build bridges between cultures in so many ways. During the past fiscal year, 7,000 visitors from 49 countries spent time with one of our volunteer Greeters. With an increase in travel to the United States from foreign countries, Big Apple Greeter’s services are more in demand than ever.

It is not only visitors who benefit from Big Apple Greeter. Our City’s neighborhoods and economy also have much to gain. Big Apple Greeter promotes tourism citywide and also encourages both visitors and native New Yorkers to explore some of the lesser-known but no less interesting neighborhoods of the City.

As we look towards the future, Big Apple Greeter is committed to insuring its long-term financial stability. Please consider helping our cause by making a donation of any amount, perhaps a monthly recurring donation. Together we can continue bridging cultures, creating better understanding amongst people.

You might also like to consider one of the following options:

1. Make a donation in honor or in memory of family, friends, and Greeters

2. Make a monthly, recurring donation

3. Share our story with your friends and encourage them to give

4. Donate appreciated stock instead of cash

Big Apple Greeter is Good For New York City

“[Big Apple Greeter’s] commitment to welcoming our City’s many visitors and helping them discover our outstanding cultural and social offerings and dynamic neighborhoods are commendable…”
City of New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg

Big Apple Greeter is Good For Business

“…As a tourist, nothing beats a New Yorker’s perspective on our City. Attracting visitors to New York is good for the City's economy and burnishes our reputation as not just an exciting tourist destination, but as the center of global commerce, media and technology.”
The Durst Organization, President Douglas Durst

Big Apple Greeter has been featured in thousands of news and travel stories around the world, in newspapers, magazines, on television and radio, and on the Internet. Over 2 billion media impressions has reached a potential audience of billions of potential visitors to New York City, bringing the message of a friendly, inviting and accessible New York City.
