The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.8 million disadvantaged New York City children since 1877.

Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund has unlocked the limitless potential of more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities. Each year, thousands of children experience outdoor summer adventures through visits with volunteer host families along the East Coast and Southern Canada and at The Fund's five overnight camps in Fishkill, NY. Fresh Air children also participate in year-round leadership and educational programs.
