The New York Community Trust

Since 1924, The New York Community Trust, through the generosity of its donors, has built a permanent endowment to support the nonprofit organizations that make our City a vital and secure place in which to live and work. We also make it easy for New Yorkers to be philanthropists.

With thousands of charitable funds set up by individuals, families, and businesses, and an expert staff, we help donors with their giving today and enable their generosity to continue after their lifetimes, supporting the causes they cared about and solving problems we can't now imagine.

These generous New Yorkers enabled The Trust to make grants of $168 million in 2008 to hundreds of nonprofits around the City and country. In fact, we are the largest private funder of New York City nonprofits. Source: www.nycommunitytrust.org
