The Bangladesh Association of New York is a non-profit organization established in 1996. By nature it is a philanthropic organization.

The purpose of The Bangladesh Association of New York is primarily to provide assistance, guidance and counsel to new immigrants and less advantaged people.

In modern times, there are many NGO's and other philanthropic organizations that exist to help people. These organizations collect money and have paid employees in order to help people. However, people have been helping people since time began. Bangladesh Association of New York has been following that ancient tradition since its inception. That is why it doesn't have any membership fee, collect donations,  a bank account, nor a tax exempt ID. However, it is still a Non-Profit Organization.

How are we able to help others?

Simply by utilizing people's expertise, knowledge, time and resources. These are generously given out of kindness without monetary payment expected,  for the satisfaction of having helped a less advantaged fellow human being. In doing so, the moral satisfaction we get at BANY, money, name, fame, or publicity can not buy.

For the last six years, we have been able to make a difference in over one thousand lives and we are still going strong. Our philosophy is, "Give to each, a little of yours and feel a deep sense of gratification and pride."

The Bangladesh Association of New York (BANY) is axiomatically a philanthropic organization serving the needs of the people who are less advantageous. In addition it exists to blend the ethnicity with that of the American culture. It is not a political organization nor does it purport to be a religious group. It embraces people of all walks of life, with any religious origin and ethnic background.
