Know any non-profits started as a result of 9/11?

Question

I am looking for any inspiring stories of non-profits or NGOs started as a response to 9/11. Zog Sports in NY, for example, is a charity sports league founded by a 9/11 survivor. Could be something locally focused or international - small or large. Thanks.

Answer 1

That should be easy, because there are tons of them, especially related to firefighters and NY police groups and families.  Just Google search those keywords and check out their websites. Something like 'families or survivors of 9/11 firefighters' will work.

Answer 2
