About WOMENS BIBLE SOCIETY OF NEW YORK

The Women’s Bible Society of New York is a long-established Christian nonprofit focused on public proclamation, Bible distribution, teaching, camp scholarships, and grantmaking across New York City. Founded in the early 19th century, the Society describes itself as one of the oldest Christian organizations in continuous operation in the State of New York.

In recent years the Society has combined traditional Bible distribution and children’s camp scholarships with a structured grants program (launched in 2014) that funds NYC-based ministries and projects aligned with its mission. The organization reports active grantmaking and ongoing program activity in its most recent IRS filings and maintains a donor-facing website outlining its programs and giving options.

Notable achievements

Historic founding (1816)

Originating from a women’s auxiliary formed in 1816, the organization traces continuous activity back more than two centuries and highlights a sustained history of Bible distribution and visitation ministry in New York City.

Re-established grantmaking (2014)

In 2014 the Society formalized a grants program to fund New York City ministries and projects aligned with its mission; since then it has approved multiple grant cycles and awarded numerous grants to local faith-based youth and outreach programs.

Camp scholarships and Bible distribution

The Society provides summer camp scholarships for New York City children (partnering with named Christian camps) and distributes Bibles primarily to camp participants and local program partners, maintaining an ongoing, hands-on program of direct ministry.
