Donors to The New York Community Trust have a range of grantmaking styles that are as different as their charitable interests. 

• If your fund is in trust with one of our trustee banks, the bank is responsible for investments.
  
   
• If your fund is with Community Funds, we offer a choice of several investment vehicles to accommodate donors' varied grantmaking patterns:
  
  
  • For donors who anticipate making grants with a substantial portion of the funds they establish (i.e., spend principal), we offer the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund.
    
    
  • For donors with a longer term orientation, we offer investment pool of managed accounts in several asset classes overseen by our Investment Committee. 
    
    
  • For donors who would like a relatively high level of current income, we offer an income-oriented fund of funds managed by Vanguard. If you'd like more information about our investment policy and performance, please contact our Chief Investment Officer Mary Greenebaum or fill out the form below. She'll be happy to answer your questions.
