I am proud to be part of The Trust's community. It has its finger on the pulse of New York and listens to communities and local leaders, which is important to me.

Again and again, I urge clients to consider The Trust. The staff scours this region for the best nonprofits, then weaves together donors' funds to make a real difference.
