The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million disadvantaged New York City children since 1877.

Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. Children visit volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. Additionally, 3,000 children attend five Fresh Air camps on a 3,000-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund's year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year.
