by The New York Community Trust
Community foundations combine the generosity of many to support a geographic area. At The New York Community Trust, we focus on making life better for all in New York City, Westchester, and Long Island.
Most have broadly defined missions and make grants to local nonprofits. They bring grantees together to strengthen their communities and bring funders together to build power and resources to drive systemic improvements.
As public charities, community foundations like The New York Community Trust offer donors a way to give a wide range of assets in tax-saving ways that maximize the funding available to make a difference.
Donors can create customized funds within these foundations, which offer a more practical, cost-effective, and well-staffed alternative to creating their own private foundations.
By pooling resources, community foundations offer economies of scale, investment expertise, and institutional wisdom to multiply the charitable impact of their donors.
