CELEBRATING 170 YEARS

For 170 years, the Community Service Society (CSS) has been New York City’s leading anti-poverty

organization. By crafting innovative policies and solutions to problems faced by low-income com-

munities, CSS has made New York a better place to live for all New Yorkers.

Our tradition of enabling, empowering, and promoting opportunities for poor families and individuals

to develop their full potential to contribute to society dates back to the 1840s.

We coordinate the state’s health care ombuds program, Community Heath Advocates (CHA), guiding

New Yorkers through the health insurance maze of enrolling and using coverage. Our Retired &

Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)—the largest in the country—mobilized over 4,000 trained

volunteers last year— older adults—who provided over 1 million hours of service throughout

the city. Our voter registration drives empower people to participate in the civic life of the city

by voting. We bring legal challenges to protect the rights of the poor. Our Benefits Plus Learning

Center provides training and technical assistance to both professionals and the public.

We have a legacy of achievements. In 1862, we launched the drive for pure milk laws as well

as organizing the Society for the Ruptured and Crippled, now the Hospital for Special Surgery.

We organized the New York School of Social Work in 1898—now the Columbia University School

of Social Work. We set up the prototype for the national free school-lunch program in 1913 and laid

the groundwork for the state’s Old Age Assistance Act in 1930—the forerunner of Social Security.

We conduct rigorous research on critical issues affecting low-income New Yorkers and use our

research to drive advocacy and policy change. In the last decade, our credibility in putting “numbers

on the problem” has put issues on the map ranging from the crisis in black male joblessness to

disconnected youth. Our research tracking rent burdens and the loss of affordable housing are

widely relied on by the housing field. And, more recently, we drew first page press coverage for

our work uncovering the declining opportunities for black and Latino public high school graduates

at the top-tier senior colleges in our city’s public university system.

We provided $5 million of financial assistance to help New Yorkers who lost jobs and family members

as result of the World Trade Center disaster.

In 2002, we initiated The Unheard Third, an annual survey of New Yorkers, the only regular polling

of low-income opinion in the United States.

CSS launched the New York Reentry Roundtable in 2005, a monthly forum for reentry advocates,

representing more than 50 stakeholder organizations, focusing on legislative reform to address

obstacles faced by formerly incarcerated individuals. As an outgrowth of the Roundtable, CSS estab-

lished the annual Advocacy Day, which enables stakeholders to meet in Albany with key legislators

and staff. Advocacy Day participants educate legislators about the Roundtable’s legislative agenda,

which includes bills focused on eradicating barriers to reentry and on easing some of the challenges

faced by people who are currently incarcerated.

And just last month, CSS was instrumental in the successful agreement on paid sick leave legisla-

tion by the City Council, providing this crucial benefit for the first time for over 1 million New Yorkers,

many of them low-wage workers.

CSS utilizes a combination of research, advocacy, court challenges, direct support, and community

involvement to effect fundamental changes that improve the lives of low-income families, school

children, health care patients, immigrants, and poor people throughout our history.

As we look to the future, we still see 1 in 5 New Yorkers living in poverty, a public school system

that shortchanges children of color, a battle—hopefully being won—for access to affordable health

care, and the continuing loss of affordable housing in the city.

There is much to be done. And, as we have for 170 years, we at the Community Service Society

intend to make our presence felt in the ongoing struggle for a fairer and better New York City.

JOSEPHINE SHAw LOwELL LEADER IN SOCIAL JUSTICE AwARD

Honors individuals who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to promoting and protecting

the civil and human rights of marginalized communities through their work and philosophies

In 1882, American social activist and Progressive reform leader Josephine Shaw Lowell founded

the Charity Organization Society (COS), one of two prominent social welfare agencies that combined

forces in 1939 and adopted the new name: The Community Service Society of New York. Born

into a wealthy family, Josephine Shaw Lowell volunteered with and founded numerous charities,

dedicating her life to improving the lives of the poor. Both her brother Colonel Robert Gould Shaw,

who commanded the all-black 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, and husband Charles Russell

Lowell, a general in the Union Army, were fatally wounded during the American Civil War. A pioneer

in the field of social work, Josephine extended her efforts beyond direct service, producing compel-

ling investigative reports, speeches, and correspondence that effectively lobbied for reform affecting

the unemployed, almshouses, prison conditions, and labor practices. A tireless and passionate

advocate for social justice, Josephine Shaw Lowell never stopped working to prevent and eliminate

the consequences of poverty—building a better future for generations of New Yorkers.

BLANCHETTE ROCkEFELLER LEADER IN PHILANTHROPy AwARD

Honors individuals who have demonstrated exemplary leadership through charitable giving that

leads to lasting, impactful change

At age 24, Blanchette Ferry Hooker Rockefeller began her involvement in New York City’s charitable

and civic activities, joining the Central Council of the Community Service Society. Blanchette’s phil-

anthropic interests emerged while she was a student at Vassar College where she wrote a paper in

which she argued, “Going further into the nature of liberty, there are certain essential features that

are found inherently necessary to it. First, man must be economically secure… second, he must

be trained to make use of his freedom to the extent that he may enjoy what he has…” Although

she came from one of the wealthiest families in the country, she believed that freedom required

financial security in a way that most of her contemporaries did not. Appropriately enough, in 1933

she became the first female director of the Community Service Society. A lifelong philanthropist,

Blanchette Rockefeller was one of New York City’s most prominent and generous donors, helping to

attract financial support and volunteers for causes ranging from community service to education to

the arts—establishing a legacy of giving that continues to benefit all New Yorkers.

danny Glover

Actor, producer and humanitarian Danny

Glover has been a commanding presence on

screen, stage and television for more than 25

years. As an actor, his film credits range from

the blockbuster Lethal Weapon franchise to

smaller independent features, some of which

starred in an array of motion pictures, including

the critically-acclaimed Dreamgirls directed

by Bill Condon and in the futuristic 2012 for

director Roland emmerich. In addition to his

film work, Glover is highly sought after as a

public speaker, delivering inspiring addresses

and moving performances in such diverse

venues as college campuses, union rallies and

business conventions.

Glover has gained respect for his wide-

reaching community activism and philanthropic

efforts, with a particular emphasis on advocacy

for economic justice and access to health care

and education programs in the United States

and Africa. For these efforts Glover received a

2006 DGA Honor and was honored with a 2011

“Pioneer Award” from the National Civil Rights

Museum. Internationally, Glover has served as

a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations

Development Program from 1998–2004,

focusing on issues of poverty, disease, and

economic development in Africa, Latin America,

and the Caribbean. Glover was presented in

In 2005 Glover co-founded New York-based

Louverture Films with writer/producer Joslyn

velopment and production of films of historical

relevance, social purpose, commercial value

and artistic integrity. Among the films Glover

has executive produced at Louverture are the

César-nominated Bamako; Sundance Grand

Jury Prize and Oscar and emmy nominated

Trouble The Water; the award winning The

Black Power Mixtape 1967–1975; and the

2012 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner The

House I Live In. He has also associate pro-

duced elia Suleiman’s The Time That Remains

and the 2010 Cannes Palme d’Or winner Uncle

Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.

A native of San Francisco, Glover trained at

the Black Actors’ Workshop of the American

Conservatory Theatre. It was his Broadway

debut in Fugard’s Master Harold…and the

Boys that brought him to national recognition

and led director Robert Benton to cast him in

his first leading role in 1984’s Academy Award-

nominated Best Picture, Places in the Heart.

The following year Glover starred in two more

Best Picture nominated films: Peter Weir’s

Witness and Steven Spielberg’s The Color

Purple. In 1987 Glover partnered with Mel

Gibson in the first Lethal Weapon film and went

on the star in three hugely successful Lethal

Weapon sequels. Glover has also invested his

talents in more personal projects including

the award-winning To Sleep With Anger which

he executive produced and for which he won

and Independent Spirit Award for Best Actor;

Bopha!, Manderlay, Missing in America; and the

film version of Athol Fugard’s play Boseman

and Lena. He also starred in The Royal Tenen-

baums, Saw, Shooter, and Death at a Funeral.

On the small screen, Glover won an Image

Award, a Cable ACe Award, and earned an

emmy nomination for his performance in the

title role of the HBO movie Mandela. He has

also received emmy nominations for his work

in the acclaimed miniseries Lonesome Dove,

the telefilm Freedom Song, and as a direc-

tor he earned a Daytime emmy nomination

for Showtime’s Just a Dream. Most recently,

Glover was a co-star on the popular television

series Touch.
