Someone told me the Bill Gates Foundation gives away money to almost any worthy charitable organization and it doesn't take much to qualify. If they were contacted with Helpline's tax exempt charity status and circumstances... it's possible.

Another thought is Mayor Bloomberg. I've read more than once that he gives his personal money to important NYC charitable organizations and does it under the radar, without publicity. A direct appeal to him might be another option. But it'll all be too late to stop the closing in 2 weeks, this would have to be done next year. There would have to be a point person spearheading this, finding a new office space, knowing the operating budget of Helpline, etc. A lot of work.
