    About

    The Belfer Center builds and scales initiatives that enable change leaders to activate ripples of impact in their communities.

    The Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact was founded in 2013 by Laurence Belfer, Henry Timms, and Asha Curran at the 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY). 92NY was founded in 1874 as a home for newly arrived Eastern European Jews, establishing itself as a gathering space for New Yorkers of all backgrounds. 150 years later, The Belfer Center channels this commitment to community to create meaningful social change in the world.
