He cares about immigrants.

So he gives.

By Robert Kaufman, Trust donor and vice chairman emeritus

O

ur country is undergoing painful changes that may hurt the most vulnerable New Yorkersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;immigrants and the poor. I was a child refugee from the Holocaust and I built a life here from scratch, so I feel particular empathy for those who are targeted.

I know what threats I care about, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time or expertise to judge who can best make a difference. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I gave to The New York Community Trust. The Trust quickly raised more than $1 million and distributed it to twenty-one small but trusted community groups countering hate and helping neighbors in need.

Read more about this work on pages 4-5.

What do you care about?

Set up a fund to keep your passions aliveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;forever.
