Lifeline Fund
In response to shortages in Cuba, the Center set up the Lifeline Fund which enables contributors to donate much-needed materials to Cuban individuals and institutions. These materials include everything from medicines and therapeutic equipment to supplies for artists, teachers and students, as well as helping during natural disasters.
Lectures and Film Series
The Center’s educational purposes are best served by holding public discussions about Cuban society and by presenting creative works that present the Cuban aesthetic and inform at the same time. The Center presents regular lecture series on specific topics and when possible with experts from Cuba. At the same time it presents film showings and art exhibits at the Center and at other sites both in and out of New York City.

Travel Advisory
In keeping with our commitment to provide U.S. citizens with information about Cuba, the Center assists groups and individuals who fall within the legal exemptions to the U.S. ban on travel to Cuba, i.e., those engaging in professional research, news-gathering, humanitarian or religious aid projects. Until unrestricted travel is again allowed between Cuba and the United States, the Center works to help those planning travel to Cuba to accomplish their goals
