Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrants' Rights

Lobbying client

The Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights, founded in 1982, provides free immigration legal services to low-income immigrants from the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, including help with asylum, citizenship, family-based petitions and DACA applications, plus English classes and know-your-rights outreach, from its Washington Heights office. It has filed 15 lobbying registrations since 2024, registered citywide rather than tied to specific council members, on funding for the city's FY2026 and FY2027 operating budgets and program funding for immigrant services, through lobbyist Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC, for $142,500 in compensation. It has received $7.5 million in city contracts since 2015, though only $18,750 of that remains active as of August 2026.

City contracts

Registered city contracts, largest first by current contract value (not amount spent): running now, then registered to start later, then ended. Totals count every registered contract. Each line shows its Checkbook contract ID. The tag on each row is how it was awarded (“no-bid” = non-competitive).

Largest payments, by purpose

The organization's largest individual city payments (roughly $25,000 and up), grouped by purpose, to show what recent money was for. This is NOT a total — smaller payments aren't listed; see “Paid to date” above for the complete amount paid against its contracts. Fiscal years 2020 and later.

Discretionary funding received

City Council discretionary (member-item) awards, largest first. Covers FY2009-FY2027.
