About HudsonUP

HudsonUP is funded by two non-profit organizations, The Spark of Hudson and the Humanity Forward Foundation

The Spark of Hudson is an innovative, community learning center launching in Hudson, New York.  A model for education and community development, The Spark is dedicated to supporting individuals from all corners of Hudson and beyond to learn, teach and grow. Founded by Susan Danziger and Albert Wenger, The Spark has recently spearheaded and supported a number of community initiatives in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. 

The Humanity Forward Foundation is a new 501(c)(3) non-profit organization - founded by former presidential candidate Andrew Yang - that is committed to promoting awareness and education around Universal Basic Income and to delivering cash relief to Americans most in need. 

Most recently, the Humanity Forward Foundation has been dedicated to providing direct cash assistance to those most severely impacted by the ongoing pandemic & economic crisis. In addition to its emergency relief fund, the Humanity Forward Foundation is working to develop additional UBI pilots across the U.S.
