MWA Financials and Form 990
MWA’s support comes from foundations, organizations and individuals throughout New York City and the surrounding region. MWA benefits not only from cash contributions, but also from generous in-kind contributions of goods and services that help the organization hold programs, such as City of Water Day and the Waterfront Conference.
MWA’s Board of Trustees and staff extend our deepest appreciation to our many contributors for their generosity during 2011. Despite continued economic uncertainty, our contributors maintained the support that is essential to our campaigns to create a diverse and vibrant waterfront. MWA’s financial support comes from community and family foundations, business and corporate grants, governmental entities and numerous engaged and caring individuals from around the region. We would particularly like to highlight the generous and continuing support of Elizabeth H. Atwood, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the J.M. Kaplan Fund.

Of every dollar of expense, approximately 80 cents was spent directly on MWA’s programs. The remainder covered general and administrative costs (about 9 cents) and fundraising (11 cents).
