The Bertram M. Beck Institute on Religion and Poverty is an ecumenical institute that partners with New York City interfaith religious and lay leaders who are moved to alleviate poverty in our affluent society.  It is committed to preparing leaders who promote social justice and serve the poor.  Founded in 1999 and based at Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Service, the Beck Institute promotes interdisciplinary collaboration across University departments and with the broader community.

The Francis and Ann Curran Center for American Catholic Studies sponsors conferences, lectures and academic programs for students and faculty within the University, for scholars across the United States and for the broader New York City community. These events and programs provide a forum for ecumenical engagement between Catholics and believers from other faith traditions, and for the academic study of broad "faith and culture" questions in the United States.

The Ravazzin Center's mission is to enable social workers and communities to meet the needs of an aging society through development and dissemination of empirically based knowledge that will further the understanding of aging and strengthen the role of social work.
