The New York Community Trust ("The Trust") is one of the oldest and largest community foundations in the country.
For the past century, The Trust has honored the wishes of donors who have entrusted them with their financial legacies to make lives better in the place they love.
The Trust is a philanthropic leader in New York City, Westchester, and Long Island, delivering nearly $200 million in grants in 2023 and more than $2 billion in the past decade.
Today, in addition to a distinguished competitive grantmaking program, The Trust hosts donor-advised funds ("DAFs") that make grants throughout the United States and donor collaboratives that work on the leading edge of philanthropy to improve the lives of New Yorkers.
The Trust has long been a leader in the field, with innovations ranging from establishing the first donor-advised fund in the 1930s to making landmark grants, including the first to fight AIDS, build the High Line, support immigrant communities, and respond quickly in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
