Get Involved: How You Can Help

Get Involved

New York State is doing all it can to keep New Yorkers safe and stop the spread of COVID-19. But we’re stronger if we all work together. Governor Cuomo is calling on health care professionals, schools of public health or medicine and PPE products providers and manufacturers to come forward to support the state’s response. It's going to be hard, it's going to be disruptive, but we will get through this together.

New York State in in Need of Gloves, Masks and Gowns
Sell Products to New York State
There is shortage of personal protective equipment — or PPE — products in the state, including gloves, masks and gowns, the Governor is asking all PPE product providers to sell to the state any products that are not essential or not currently being used.
Incentives for Companies
Help New York State By Manufacturing Products

The Governor is encouraging any company with the proper equipment or personnel to begin to manufacture personal protective equipment products. 

The state is willing to provide funding to any company to obtain the proper equipment and personnel.

Businesses interested in receiving state funding to manufacture products should contact us.

TEAMS WILL BE DEPLOYED ACROSS AREAS SUCH AS TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIONS, ANALYTICS AND COMMUNICATIONS
COVID-19 Technology SWAT Team
Seeking Highly-Trained Civic-Minded Technologists

Open to any company or technologist regardless of industry, teams will assist in the State’s coronavirus response for 90-day service deployments.

Teams or Cohorts Preferred

Our highest need is for teams or cohorts of individuals from a single institution.

In-Person or Locally-Based is Ideal

Given that many employers are having many workers work from home, volunteers would collaborate virtually with New York State teams. So, preference will be given to those in the Eastern and Central US timezones but we are open to the west coast as well.
