Establishing a fund in The Trust is a simple and quick procedure, and our services are convenient and inexpensive. We have the flexibility to accept a wide variety of assets and we offer a number of vehicles for accomplishing a donors financial and estate planning objectives. We take care of all government reporting, grant investigations and paperwork, auditing, and accounting. Because of our size, The Trust is able to operate with a modest fee structure, preserving charitable dollars for charitable activities. And, as a public charity, we offer the maximum tax deduction on contributions allowed by law.
Donors can contribute now and through their wills.
One takes full advantage of the services we offer, ensuring that gifts meet the City's most pressing needs now and in the future. The second allows donors the privilege of recommending grants. And donors can set up funds to benefit a specific charity or charities, with the knowledge that if it appears to the Distribution Committee that circumstances have so changed that it becomes unnecessary, undesirable, impractical, or impossible to continue making grants, the gift will still be used for charitable purposes. The New York Community Trust has been practicing a special brand of philanthropy for 75 years. At The Trust, we know that communities thrive when determined people come together.
