The evolution of the Fund for Public Health with Sara Gardner
Sara Gardner is heading into her 15th year as the executive director at the Fund for Public Health, and it is no surprise that she has such longevity. Prior to being ED at FPHNYC, she was at EngenderHealth for two decades working to advance sexual and reproductive rights and gender equality. That made her no stranger to crisis response, leading FPHNYC since 2008 through a recession at the time and later through COVID-19.
Gardner has worked with six Department of Health and Mental Hygiene commissioners during her tenure and used the FPHNYC’s unique model of public-private partnership to mobilize the philanthropic community and support the DOHMH’s endeavors. That included Hurricane Sandy and the ongoing opioid and substance misuse crisis. Her expertise on the evolution of FPHNYC throughout the years, the ever changing relationships between the public-private sector and the challenge of advancing public interest while balancing the evolving priorities set by new mayors and their administrations is knowledge that sets Gardner apart from many ED’s.
She was also included in City & State’s Responsible 100 last year.

The Education Debt Consumer Assistance Program (EDCAP), a program of the Community Service Society of New York (CSS), announced that 10 community-based organizations have joined the EDCAP Network to provide direct consumer assistance to New York State residents with higher education debt, which includes federal and private student loans. The announcement illustrates the program’s progress toward creating a robust, statewide network of agencies providing consumers with the independent, unbiased, one-on-one consumer assistance they need to tackle their student debt. In New York, there are 2.4 million borrowers with more than $90 billion in student loans.
The New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) will honor Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation; Kyle Bragg, President of 32BJ SEIU; and NYIC member organization African Communities Together (ACT) at its 2022 This is Our New York event on October 11th at Capitale in New York City.
