Special Report: On the Waterfront Slideshow - The Long Island Community Foundation

We have a new website!

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.

You can now find us at: https://www.thenytrust.org/long-island/

The New York Community Trust. For Long Island. Forever.

The Waterfront Revival

For decades, New Yorkers avoided the waterfront as it became increasingly polluted, derelict, and even dangerous. But thanks to our donors, The Trust is helping transform miles of rusting ribbons of steel and concrete along the shore—from a Bronx boat-building workshop to dozens of waterfront parks and playgrounds.

These pages are drawn from a special report in our 2017 annual report. They show how The Trust works with generous New Yorkers like you. Our goal is to improve the environment, arts, and education along the waterfront—and everywhere else in New York City, Westchester, and Long Island.
