FCCA also receives major support from the National Endowment for the Arts; New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency; New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg; New York City Department of Education; Queens Borough President Hon. Helen Marshall; NYC Council Members Hon. Leroy Comrie, Hon. James Gennaro, and Hon.
