Mission and role
According to NYDIS’s public materials, the organization was founded after the September 11, 2001 attacks to coordinate recovery among New York City’s diverse religious communities. It was incorporated in 2003 as a 501(c)(3). Today it describes itself as a faith-based federation of 60+ religious judicatories, human service providers, and charities working on disaster readiness, response, and recovery in New York City and related communities.
NYDIS states that it inspires, connects, and equips faith communities to serve neighbors in crisis and to build pathways to recovery, resilience, and social justice (see About Us on nydis.org).
