The 2022 Nonprofit Power 100

Nonprofit organizations play an invaluable and yet overlooked role in New York. Social services nonprofits contract with government agencies to carry out essential functions, whether it’s protecting children, caring for the elderly or providing aid to the poor. Some nonprofits represent vulnerable New Yorkers in court while seeking criminal justice reforms as well. Others focus on homelessness, housing, immigration, public transit and access to health care, to name a few. These organizations, with rare exceptions, are led by idealistic executives who toil day after day to make New York a better place.

The Nonprofit Power 100, a partnership between City & State and its sister publication, New York Nonprofit Media, identifies the sector’s most important and effective leaders. It also highlights top government officials and heads of major philanthropies whose funding and oversight drive the work of New York’s nonprofits. (The list, however, excludes other kinds of nonprofits, including institutions of higher education and media organizations.) Read on to see where everyone stacks up in the 2022 Nonprofit Power 100 – including a No. 1 who’s new to this year’s list.

18. JoAnne Page & Stanley Richards

President and CEO; Deputy CEO, The Fortune Society
JoAnne Page has held the reins at the Fortune Society, one of the city’s largest reentry and post-incarceration service providers, for more than three decades. This year, the Fortune Society partnered with the city and state on a number of projects to create affordable and supportive housing for formerly homeless and formerly incarcerated individuals. Page was also a vocal proponent of the Less Is More Act, a major parole reform, which Gov. Kathy Hochul signed shortly after taking office. Earlier this year, Fortune Society veteran Stanley Richards was named the newly created role deputy chief executive officer, a move some observers see as a sign that he’s next in line to lead the organization. Richards, who himself was formerly incarcerated, returned to the Fortune Society after a stint as a deputy commissioner at the city Department of Correction.
