Since inception, The Long Island Community Foundation has operated as an affiliate of The New York Community Trust.
As part of our centennial celebrations, we are creating a single, unified organization to more powerfully advocate for our region with one voice.
We will still maintain our physical offices in Long Island with the same dedicated staff who will continue to honor and build upon our relationships with local nonprofits and communities.

The New York Community Trust. For Long Island. Forever.
How do coastal areas adapt to rising seas?
With Trust support, the Waterfront Alliance developed guidelines. Certification with the Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines (WEDG) means a new development can resist flooding and protect the surrounding environment.
This tool helps neighborhoods design accessible waterfront parks, create flood barriers, and keep harbor waters cleaner.
