Founded in 1924, The New York Community Trust has served New Yorkers for over
100 years.

During that time, The Trust has awarded
$5.8 billion in grants. 

These grants have served more than
12.4 million people.

But that was our first 100 years. Today’s challenges demand even more. Join us in building an equitable and thriving region for all New Yorkers.

My Legacy. My Fund at The Trust

I am proud to be part of The Trust's community. It has its finger on the pulse of New York and listens to communities and local leaders, which is important to me.

Again and again, I urge clients to consider The Trust. The staff scours this region for the best nonprofits, then weaves together donors' funds to make a real difference.
