Funds raised will be used to further and expand upon the 400 Foundation’s 2020 vision for “400Forward” to promote income and wealth creation through Organizing, Mobilizing, and Advocating for much-needed skills training, business development and
affordable-affordable housing.
It has been 50 years since the faith-based community has come together to engage in economic and legislative activism. Together with partners like you, we are organizing the faith community to awaken the dream of Dr. King and move our communities

Jay Kriegel has been active in city affairs for over 50 years, when he first walked into City Hall to serve as Chief of Staff/Special Counsel to Mayor John V. Lindsay (1966-1973). It was a time of national racial turmoil when Lindsay’s heroic nightly walks, and unique policy of police restraint, kept the City stable. In 1972, Lindsay shut down all city capital construction -- $200 million then -- to force the construction unions to diversify.
Along with Dan Doctoroff, [Mr. Kriegel] led New York City’s unsuccessful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games (1998-2005). The Olympic bid created momentum to develop the blighted 26-acre West Side Rail Yards, and in 2007, he joined Steve Ross and Related to work on the 18 million sq. ft. $26 billion Hudson Yards, the largest project in American history.
Mr. Kriegel serves on the boards of Prep for Prep, ExpandED Schools, New Visions for Public Schools, Building Skills, The Kent Land Trust, and the Association for a Better New York (ABNY).
