care about through charitable funds. Donors come to

The Trust for the most effective way to give back to their

community by making the City and suburbs better.

We are New York’s community foundation.SPACE fOR ARTiSTS We’re matching Bronx artists with affordable places to live, rehearse, and produce art, while providing new ways to share their work.ENDiNG hUNGER

To make sure students have fuel to learn, we backed a successful campaign to bring free lunches to the city’s public middle schools. Now, we’re pushing for free lunches in elementary and high schools.

T he New York Community Trust is an extraordinary foundation with nine decades of experience in bringing about change. We address complicated, persistent problems, often joining

with other foundations—including such American icons as MacArthur, Carnegie, Ford, and Rockefeller.

But we are different; we are a community foundation, focused on America’s largest city and its suburbs. We weave together gifts from a vast, eclectic group of individual donors, some living and some long gone. Our expert staff finds the best nonprofit groups to realize donors’ charitable visions.

We have been perfecting this approach since 1924, when Rosebel Schiff gave $1,000 to fund a prize at P.S. 9 for a girl who “earned the highest respect of her teachers.”

We soon attracted the attention of others who loved New York. In 1928, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. gave The Trust $2.5 million to establish a fund in his mother’s memory. He not only wanted to make life better for those who were struggling, he also wanted to support the idea of neighbors coming together to solve problems through a community foundation.

Many of The Trust’s donors are New Yorkers whose names you do not know, but who cared intensely about our City. One of our newest is Jane Kitselman, who died in 2015 at age 87. A gifted sculptor and cellist, she championed talented musicians, sometimes accompanying them on tour. Ms. Kitselman left us a permanent bequest to support small and emerging chamber music groups in New York (see page 26).

Another bequest in 2015 came from Rita and Stanley Wecker, avid conservationists and birdwatchers, who left the bulk of their estate to our Westchester division to safeguard the environment. “I’m certain Rita carefully did research before selecting the Westchester Community Foundation as the primary beneficiary of their estate,” says her niece Mindy Stern, a lawyer in Manhattan.

We are excited about putting our donors’ wishes to work. Our talented program staff will determine the most deserving chamber music groups, or those doing cutting-edge environmental work.

Our craft requires creativity and local knowledge. Edward and Sally Van Lier wanted to help young artists; Ms. Van Lier requested we support young people

who could not afford training. We created The New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellowships, and 25 years later, thousands of musicians, dancers, playwrights, painters, and photographers have received much-needed support. They have gone on to win a MacArthur “genius grant,” a Pulitzer Prize, and other honors. We are proud of this unique program (see following chapter).

How does this relate to you? If you have a donor-advised fund, we hope you will join The Trust in some of our grantmaking or leave something behind when you are no longer advising. And if you have just found The Trust, contact us about your charitable passions and see how you can support our important work. Join John Rockefeller, Jane Kitselman, and the Weckers in making New York better—forever. n

Following a couple’s wishes, The New York Community Trust

created a unique fellowship for artists—and 25 years later,

their successes enrich our world.

xaviera Simmons has had an unusual life, even for someone who creates sculpture, photography, video, sound, and live performances for a living.

In her early twenties, she spent two years walking with Buddhist monks across the eastern United States, the Caribbean, and western Africa to visit key sites in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Simmons’ career is testament to hard work and great timing. In 2012, just when she pined to try new painting techniques, she received an Edward and Sally Van Lier Fellowship created by The New York Community Trust. That paid for a year in the Studio Museum of Harlem’s prestigious artist-in-residence program.

“I had a chance to focus on my art, travel to museums, and grow as a thinker,” Simmons says. Since then, the U.S. State Department and the Bronx Museum of Art chose her as a creative ambassador to travel to Sri Lanka. Most recently, the Museum of Modern Art commissioned a 20-foot-wide painting for the front window of its midtown

building. Standing by it on a recent evening, she accepted accolades from artists, tourists, and even a waiter from the museum’s restaurant.

That’s typical of the success of many recipients of Van Lier Fellowships, which The Trust started in 1991 to help emerging artists. Since then, $17 million has been awarded for fellowships through 100 arts training groups, ranging from well-known institutions such as Manhattan’s Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to smaller groups such as the Ghetto Film School in the Bronx.

So far, about 2,000 artists have been Van Lier fellows. Their work has appeared from Broadway to Berlin. One received a MacArthur “genius grant,” another won a Pulitzer Prize, and a third was a Pulitzer finalist. Many now mentor a new generation of artists.

In 2015, as the fellowship neared its 25th anniversary, a consultant interviewed former fellows and the nonprofit groups that hosted them. Participants agreed the fellowships gave them three crucial resources to establish careers: time, money, and training.

ART

MOMA MOMENT: Artist Xaviera Simmons, 41, credits some recent successes to the “huge impact” of The New York Community Trust Van Lier Fellowship. Here she’s shown in March, 2016, with her acrylic-on-wood painting, “The Gold Miner’s Mission,” at the Museum of Modern Art’s Modern Window on 53rd Street.

AnnuAl RepoRt 1110 nycommunitytrust.org

“Receiving the Van Lier Fellowship changed my life,” said Darius Jones, a jazz composer and saxophone player who has traveled widely since being a fellow. “I felt emboldened to experiment and become the artist I am today.”

Ask Kyra Brickhouse about her fellowship at Rosie’s Theater Kids, an arts group started by comedian Rosie O’Donnell: “I would not have been able to accomplish what I’ve accomplished or stay afloat at high school,” says Brickhouse, who went on to the LaGuardia High School of Music, Art, and Performing Arts.

All this thanks to an arts-loving couple—a real estate developer and a performer who appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies. And thanks to The Trust’s determination to follow their wishes.

Edward and Sally Van Lier often recalled the early days of their marriage, soon after the Depression, when they lived in a fifth-floor walk-up in Manhattan. The Van

Liers delighted in introducing young visitors to performances and art exhibitions. After Edward’s death in 1978, Sally told The Trust she wanted to set up a fund to help talented, aspiring artists, especially those with very little money.

The Trust’s program staff asked experts how to use the money most effectively. The consensus: Artists need financial assistance, mentoring, and other help at two critical junctures—before they go to a conservatory, and when they’re trying to launch careers.

These days, it seems the fellows are everywhere. During the 2016 inauguration of the Metropolitan Museum’s new building, the Met Breuer, visitors crowded around Vijay Iyer. He was named Musician of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association, he won a MacArthur Fellowship, and he was appointed

an arts professor at Harvard. Before all that, he was a Van Lier Fellow.

The fellowship can make the difference between following a passion or giving up, and between staying in New York or moving away. “New York is increasingly tough for artists,” says Xaviera Simmons, “since none of us are gazillionaires.”

Playwright Kristoffer Diaz says he’s grateful for his fellowship: Not only did he get underwriting to do research and produce a work, but he also got a $10,000 stipend. “At 26 years old, $10,000 was a game changer for me—that almost doubled my salary.”

Kerry McCarthy, who oversees the program for The Trust, says the fellowships’ impact goes well beyond individual artists. Nonprofit arts groups say by hosting Van Lier Fellows from different backgrounds, they are adding diversity to fields ranging from choreography to sculpture.

For example, Van Lier Fellows have infused Hispanic, Asian, and African-American perspectives into New Dramatists, a highly regarded group that offers writing studios, rehearsal spaces, and mentoring for aspiring playwrights. Diaz was a fellow there 10 years ago, and that experience inspired him. A finalist for the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in drama, he returned to New Dramatists as a resident playwright.

Recent New Dramatist fellows include Jackie Sibblies Drury, whose Van Lier project turned into a play about racial issues that made its premiere in 2016. Another fellow, Charice Castro Smith, has broken into a male-dominated industry and is working on a project for ABC TV.

This year at New Dramatists, the number of applications for Van Lier Fellowships rose from 10 to 50, Diaz says. “I can’t help thinking Mr. and Mrs. Van Lier must be beaming somewhere, gratified about what they created.”

Connecting to Mentors

in his early 20s, Niegel Smith lacked contacts to make it in the theater. Though he went to Dartmouth

College, he’d spent his adolescence in Detroit—his father was a corrections officer and his mother worked at Walmart. During his Van Lier Fellowship at Manhattan’s Second Stage Theater, he reviewed scripts, developed projects, and worked as an assistant director. That led to a meeting with the legendary director and choreographer Bill T. Jones, who hired Smith as associate director of “Fela!” on Broadway. Recently, Smith, 36, was chosen from 110 applicants to be artistic director of The Flea, an edgy, off-off-Broadway theater that also hosts Van Lier Fellows.

O U R N E w E S T A R T S f E L L O w S h i PThe New York Community Trust hopes the Van Lier program will inspire donors to work with The Trust and its suburban divisions on creative ways to carry out their legacies. That’s what hap-pened when Harold Valentine, a musician in Larchmont, wanted to support young artists as they made art and pursued careers.

In 2005, the Emily and Harold E. Valentine and Evelyn Gable Clark Scholarship Fund started at our Westchester Community Foundation. Valentine Fellows include musicians, sculptors, and visual artists. Some have earned national recognition. Filmmaker Tara Clune is now a fellow based at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville.

Mastering New Moves

The son of a construction worker and a teacher in Crown Heights, Jean-Daniel John had no interest in dance until he joined a middle school production,

where he tried capoeira, a Brazilian martial art combining dance and acrobatics. He enrolled in Brooklyn’s Ifetayo Cultural Arts Academy and, at age 16, received a two-year Van Lier Fellowship. “It exposed me to different dance techniques—classical, modern, contemporary, jazz—I couldn’t get enough,” says John, now 20. Soon he was performing at the famed Apollo Theater, and for Michelle Obama at the White House. He’s heading to Howard University’s dance program: “I’ll keep dancing until I can’t dance any longer.”

I learned discipline, focus,

multi-tasking, and I became

Hitting Higher Notes

Growing up on the Lower East Side, Jessie Montgomery wanted to play classical music but couldn’t find many African-American role models. After her parents divorced and finances got tight, a Van Lier Fellowship

let Montgomery continue her studies at the Third Street Music Settlement. An inspiring teacher led Montgomery to revamp her playing style, and she went on to the Juilliard School. After graduation, she became a Van Lier Fellow again, with the American Composers Orchestra—a “true turning point,” because she started composing. She now performs around the world and finds herself a role model. (A girl from Missouri wrote to say she was profiling a “living composer’’— 34-year-old Montgomery—for Black History Month in 2016.)

Perfecting the Art of GrantmakingThe Trust gave some of the first grants to plan Governors Island and the High Line. Where else have you provided early support?

In 1976, we were one of the first funders of Lincoln Center Education, now an arts-education powerhouse. We helped start the Nonprofit Finance Fund, which helps nonprofits better understand and manage their finances. That was in 1980, and it’s still assisting them. In 1996, we helped start the Center for Arts Education of New York City to help restore arts to schools after crippling budget cuts. In 2014, it helped win $23 million in additional funding, and that has translated to more art teachers in

public schools. And in 2015, we supported a nonprofit with a vision for the QueensWay, which would transform a 3.5-mile stretch of derelict rail line into a linear park with walking and bike paths in a part of Queens that sorely needs green space. Those are just a sample.

How do you tackle issues that cross physical and program boundaries?

As challenges become more complex, we’re viewing problems more holistically. We have used our national environmental fund to protect 5,000 farms in the Hudson Valley, many of which are at risk of being sold for housing or shopping strips. We supported environmental groups to get the State to

commit $20 million to conserve that farmland. Meanwhile, we’ve gotten creative in bringing regional produce to City neighborhoods. In the next three years, we’re spending $750,000 to help build five urban farms on New York City Housing Authority property (see below) while training residents for green jobs. And, as we see rapid growth in the specialty food manufacturing sector in Brooklyn and Queens, we’re connecting small businesses with workforce development groups. At the same time, our Westchester Community Foundation is supporting work to convert old corporate parks and other underused land into farms, and our Long Island Community Foundation helps groups provide the Island’s food pantries with fresh, local produce.

What’s the connection between donors’ wishes and your grantmaking?

Here’s an example: Years ago, one donor left a bequest to improve health and welfare. A sec-ond donor wanted to benefit Queens. A third cared about poor people with mental illness. As a community foundation, we are able to com-bine money from multiple funds, so in 2015 we helped a Flushing organization provide mental health counseling to Korean immigrants—a pop-ulation with high rates of depression. This sup-port is making a difference in that growing com-munity, and we believe these three donors would like this creative grantmaking. In the following eight pages, our program officers describe other ways we’re putting donors’ gifts to work. n

We vetted 1,500

proposals from

nonprofits last year

TRAINING HEROEs Emergency medical technicians require strong nerves and tough training—but not necessarily a college degree. That levels the field for many young men and women who aren’t going to college. To open the doors to these jobs, we’re helping FDNY Foundation improve its EMS Academy in Bayside, Queens, and improve training.

AFTER FOsTER CARE Every year, about a thousand 18- to 21-year-olds in the City age out of foster care. Many have faced abuse, upheaval, and hunger. Now they need assistance with college, careers, and housing. With our funding, Graham Windham has expanded a program to work with these young people, their families, and counselors to identify goals, then create practical plans. Left: K. (second from right), is preparing to go to college; she and her adoptive family celebrate completing the program.

HANDs-ON EDUCATION Employers want applicants with the right skills, and students need up-to-date courses and teachers with field experience. With our help, New York City Partnership Foundation is trying to change outdated State policies and underfunding for technical education. We’re also funding Per scholas and other workforce groups to train and place students in high-demand technology jobs. Right: A Per Scholas classroom in the Bronx.

A NEW sHELTER sYsTEM We supported a promising effort run by Gateway Housing to redesign homeless shelters. Our grant will improve five shelters and create long-term, affordable housing and community services. In 2015, Mayor Bill de Blasio embraced this approach. (We made this grant using money from several donors who wanted to end homelessness and improve the well-being of New Yorkers.) Left: A rendering of one of the redesigned shelters.

IMMIGRANT AID With our grant, the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs planned a $7.9 million effort, ActionNYC, to provide free legal screenings through community groups for thousands of immigrants. The screenings will help them work legally and apply for asylum, permanent residence, and citizenship. Left: Mayor Bill de Blasio announces the plan at a conference in Brooklyn.

sETTING sTANDARDs What, exactly, is a “community school?” It’s a school that joins with nonprofits to provide social and health services, plus after-school academic support for kids from low-income families. We funded the NYC Coalition for Educational Justice to advocate for standards for these schools: Strong and personalized instruction, welcoming ways for family members to get involved, and better use of data to improve programs. The City agreed to these standards. Left: Felicia Alexander, a parent, at a City Hall demonstration.

LGBT HIsTORY Julius’ in Greenwich Village calls itself “New York’s oldest gay bar” and was the site of a 1966 “sip-in” (shown here). History tells us this protest helped make it possible for bars to “openly serve homosexuals.” With Trust support, the NYC LGBT Historic sites Project is nominating places significant to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender history to the National Register of Historic Places, and creating an online map and archives.

MIGHTY sMALL ARTs It’s tough for a small theater or dance group in New York—especially amid a change in leadership, location, or programming. In 2015, we helped 10 small and mid-sized arts groups during big transitions. Right: Ma-Yi Theatre presents a children’s fantasy, “The Wong Kids in the Secret of the Space Chupacabra GO!” (We used a fund created by Lila Acheson Wallace to help Ma-Yi navigate a leadership change.)

WINNING NONPROFITs Our annual New York Nonprofit Excellence Awards, run by the Nonprofit Coordinating Committee of New York, highlight groups that lead the way in management. “Other organizations learn from the winners, which is a key point of these awards,” says Trust president Lorie Slutsky (pictured at left at the 2015 Awards).

TRAINING NEW LEADERs As a generation of founders and directors retire, New York’s nonprofits are facing a leadership vacuum. So we started a fellowship program at Baruch College’s school of Public Affairs to train the next generation of talented managers to step up. The fellows learn from experts and each other as they seek solutions to problems they face on the job. Left: Fellows visit The New York Community Trust as part of a weekly seminar.

CITY WETLANDs Jamaica Bay’s watershed includes 20,000 acres of marsh, dunes, meadows, and forested islands. One of the nation’s few urban national wildlife refuges, it is home to hundreds of species of birds, fish, and other animals. But sewer overflows and rising sea levels threaten this treasure. Officials need data to protect these wetlands. We’re funding Restore America’s Estuaries and its member group, American Littoral Society, to compare historical maps with current conditions as they test soil, wildlife, and water quality. Right: Teens in a green jobs training program monitor conditions and survey bay wildlife.

ENERGY IN THE AIR In 2015, construction began on the nation’s first offshore wind farm off the coast of Block Island. How did this project win approval? The Campaign for Atlantic Offshore Wind Power, which we’ve funded for years, made a convincing case for developing this critical renewable resource. When the five turbines go online this year, they will produce enough energy to power Block Island and send surplus electricity to the mainland. Right: Recently installed wind turbine bases.

ADAPTATIONs FOR LIFE Danna (left) benefits from a custom-made chair, table, and iPad holder, all crafted out of inexpensive materials at Adaptive Design Association in Manhattan. With our first grant in 2002, this group began teaching occupational and physical therapists to build child-specific adaptations using common tools and materials. Since then, we’ve made several grants to teach others its techniques. In 2015, the group’s founder, Alex Truesdell, won a MacArthur “genius grant.”

Manhattan Plaza, an affordable housing complex in Hell’s Kitchen with 1,100 residents over age 60, is their safe haven. With Trust support, The Actors Fund, a nonprofit, arranges services for older residents, ranging from free check-ups at home to Zumba classes. Right: Plaza seniors stay active in a free tai chi class.

HEALTH CARE CHANGEs The traditional model of paying for care is giving way to a system that reimburses health centers based on patient experience and outcomes.

You Can Make a Difference. Forever.

T housands of New Yorkers who wanted to make a difference have set up funds with The New York Community Trust. Because of them, we’ve given billions of

dollars to nonprofits, and we’ve helped change lives during the past 90 years.

Three Ways to Start a Fund• Give now: Set up a fund to support charities during your lifetime and endow it for future generations. Many donors regularly add money to their funds.

• Give later: Set up a fund through a deferred-giving arrangement. A key feature of many estate plans is a tax advantage now for the commitment of a charitable gift later. You can use Charitable Remainder Trusts, Charitable Lead Trusts, and gifts of life insurance or retirement plan assets.

• Wills: After providing for personal bequests, you may include provisions for setting up a fund in The Trust or adding to an existing fund. You’ll save estate taxes and ensure the charitable work you care about continues.

Types of Charitable Funds• An unrestricted fund helps with all important issues. We are expert in identifying community needs and the nonprofits that can help.

• A field-of-interest fund allows The Trust to make grants to nonprofits in the donor’s chosen field, such as education, the arts, the environment, medical research, or the elderly. Donors also can establish field-of-interest funds that they advise.

• A designated fund is for donors who want to support specific organizations or programs, but realize circumstances may change. And if they do, The Trust makes sure the gift remains relevant. (see page 27 for details.)

• With a donor-advised fund, the donor recommends the organizations to receive grants. By law, we cannot be bound by these recommendations, but we take them very seriously and approve grants to nonprofits that meet charitable program and financial standards.

Once you decide what you want to accomplish, our staff can help refine your goals. You name your fund—typically using your own name or someone you want to honor. Or you can remain anonymous.

Assets We Can Accept Our attorney and Donor Relations staff can discuss proposed contributions to set up funds. Here are some assets that can be used: cash; securities traded on major exchanges; closely held stock; mutual fund shares; retirement plan assets; real estate; interests in limited partnerships; and literature copyrights. Note: We cannot accept assets that carry potential liability.

Fund Administration and FeesA fund established with us may be held in trust with one of our 11 trustee banks. Or it may be held by Community Funds, Inc., our not-for-profit corporate affiliate. Both operate as The New York Community Trust with a single governing body. If a fund is set up in trust, the bank handles the investments. If it is set up in Community Funds, our Investment Committee (page 45) selects the outside portfolio managers and oversees their performance. Our administrative fee is competitive. For more information, visit nycommunitytrust.org.

The IRS has classified The New York Community Trust and its affiliate, Community Funds, Inc., as “tax exempt,” “publicly supported,” and “not a private foundation.” (see page 27.) n

A Gift of Greener Space in the BronxYears after leaving her

childhood home, a wife

honors her husband and

perks up a favorite park

BY CAROL BiLOTTi

i grew up in the South Bronx, and still

have great memories of playing in

St. Mary’s Park in Mott Haven. My

husband, Philip, grew up nearby,

and reminisced about playing saxophone

in the Christopher Columbus High

School band.

I was an executive administrator

for businesses; Philip was a Verizon

supervisor. We lived a happy life together

for 24 years, and after he died, I wanted

to honor him. I started the Philip A.

& Carol Bilotti Fund in The New York

Community Trust to support parks and

music in the Bronx. A great city needs

great parks, but green spaces in the

Bronx were neglected. As for music—

a universal language that crosses

generations, cultures, and races—it often

is cut from public school budgets.

The Trust combines money from our

fund with others, and in 2015 it made

a $90,000 grant to restore and bring

concerts and special events to several

parks and community gardens. That

includes St. Mary’s—my old haven!

I can’t tell you how thrilled I am. n

A Family That Gives Together… Two New Yorkers use their

fund to prepare the next

generations to think of others BY PETER ANDMEREDiTh RUGG

PETER: “We had high goals for our

children: We wanted to raise independent

citizens of the world who give something

back.”

MEREDITH: “With our donor-advised

fund in The New York Community

Trust, we involve our children and

grandchildren in the giving process. Our

focus is helping kids at risk. For example,

we support Big Apple Circus Clown Care,

which sends therapeutic entertainment

to children in hospitals.”

PETER: “We found The Trust is far less

expensive than a private foundation—no

tax returns or audits. That means our

money makes more of a difference.”

MEREDITH: “Now our grandchildren are

part of the grantmaking. They research

potential grantees and learn about others

that we like. One, for example, is the Fred

Dolan Art Academy, which helps high

school students refine their talents and

get scholarships to go to college. Talk

about making a difference.” nPARKs AND REC: Carol Bilotti at St. Mary’s Park in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx. The Trust uses her fund to improve this underused gathering place.

LAUGHTER As MEDICINE: Peter and Meredith Rugg joke with Big Apple Circus clowns who visit children in hospitals.

Studies show clients expect their advisors to offer expert guidance on charitable donations during financial or estate planning. Philanthropy might play a part in

an inheritance, locked-up stock, the sale of a business, or other complex transactions.

Clients need to decide what they want to support, how to fund it, and whether to involve family members. Do they want to give now, make a deferred gift, leave a bequest, or a combination?

Since 1924, we’ve been working with lawyers to help clients with philanthropy. With our staff of experts, range of giving options, capacity to accept complicated assets, knowledge of community needs, and efficient management, The Trust is the right choice for thousands of generous New Yorkers. Contact us for a copy of our tax-exemption letter, fund information, and suggested wording to help draft the gift instrument.

Donors can set up funds in either The New York Community Trust (NYCT) or in Community Funds, Inc. (CFI), our not-for-profit corporate affiliate. They share staff and a governing board and file a single return with the IRS. The IRS has classified NYCT and CFI as “tax exempt” under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; as a “publicly supported” organization under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi); and as “not a private foundation” under Section 509(a)(1). This status ensures donors the maximum tax benefit allowed by law. This also applies to our divisions, the Long Island Community Foundation and the Westchester Community Foundation.

Three Important Facts • All our funds have an important advantage: If a change of circumstances makes literal compliance with the terms of the gift “unnecessary, undesirable, impractical, or impossible,” our governing body can vary those terms. That way, donors are assured their gifts will remain useful forever.

• We must review the terms of a fund before we can accept it.

• For funds held in trust as part of The New York Community Trust, a co-trustee is not permitted.

Creating a Fund. . . in The New York Community TrustThe resolution and declaration of trust Creating “the new York Community trust” (the R&D) is a complete trust instrument. It details the powers and duties of the trustee bank and the Distribution Committee (governing board). To establish a fund in trust with one of our authorized trustee banks, the founding document must incorporate the R&D by reference. Please call or visit our website for a copy. . . . in Community FundsCommunity Funds is a New York not-for-profit corporation. A fund established in Community Funds becomes part of a publicly supported organization and is not regarded as a private foundation. The fund’s assets are managed by our Investment Committee. Please call for a copy or visit our website for a copy of our Certificate of incorporation and bylaws.. . . in our Long Island or Westchester divisionsThe Long Island Community Foundation and the Westchester Community Foundation are divisions of Community Funds, so donors have the same options described above. See page 60 for contact information. n

Tough Questions Make for Smart Estate Plans A top estate and probate

attorney on why he regularly

refers clients to The Trust

by Paul j. Powers, jr.

i ’m a lucky lawyer. I work with New

Yorkers who have done well and want

to give back. Many clients want their

estates to fund a particular nonprofit

group. I ask blunt questions: What happens

if the group’s leadership changes? What

happens—and I’ve seen this—if the group

gets into financial trouble and my client’s

hard-earned money is used to pay off debts?

Some clients talk about starting a

private foundation. My questions: Do you

really want to take on record-keeping

the IRS requires? Do you have heirs or

colleagues committed to finding the right

nonprofits years from now?

Again and again, I urge them to

consider The New York Community Trust.

The staff scours this region for the best

nonprofits, then weaves together donors’

funds to make a real difference.

In 2015, I mourned the death of my

client Jane Kitselman, a cellist who started a

fund that asks The Trust to support the most

promising chamber ensembles.

The fund, with several million dollars,

will enrich the lives of music lovers. I can’t

think of a better legacy for Jane. n

S ome of the most crucial jobs don’t pay salaries. Serving on the board of The New York Community Trust, for example. Twelve dedicated New Yorkers—selected for their

judgment, integrity, and understanding of philanthropic needs—serve as the Distribution Committee of The Trust and as the Board of Directors of Community Funds. They provide an invaluable service to New Yorkers.

Six members are nominated by civic authorities representing the public: one by the Mayor of New York City; one by the Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit; one by the Chairman of the Partnership of New York City; one by the Chairman of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts; one by the President of the Association

of the Bar of the City of New York; and one by the President of the New York Academy of Medicine. The Distribution Committee selects five members, and the President of The Trust is a member by reason of office. The Committee meets five times a year.

The Finance and Audit subcommittees monitor The Trust’s financial operations. The Investment subcommittee oversees our assets, establishes asset allocation guidelines, recommends investment advisors and vehicles, and monitors investment performance.

The Fund Purposes and Suggestion Review subcommittees assure we honor the intent of each donor’s philanthropy; they review grants suggested by donors to ensure they meet our charitable guidelines. n

S U B U R B A N D i V i S i O N S

On Long Island, which bills itself as “America’s first suburb,” the statistics are staggering: More than 316,000 people need food assistance every year. Long Island

used to be a haven for affordable homes, but no longer. In early 2015, Nassau and Suffolk had the State’s second- and third-highest foreclosure rates, behind Queens.

Amid these chilling changes, the Long Island Community Foundation is supporting efforts to reduce poverty. Consider these grants totaling $175,000: Mercy Haven helps restore food stamp benefits erroneously cut or eliminated; st. Joseph’s College is incubating the Institute for Attainable Homes to make more affordable housing available on the

Island; Island Harvest runs a senior mobile food pantry; Amagansett Food Institute provides pantries with fresh, locally sourced produce.

Look at the glossy magazines for tourists and you’d think the North and South Forks are all about vineyards and glitzy parties—but those images disguise growing poverty amid the hedge rows.

We’ve backed All For The East End Fund in its Building Stronger Neighborhoods Program, which distributed $50,000 in micro grants to 20 nonprofits from Riverhead to East Hampton. Peconic Community Council, for example, provides nighttime supervision at an East End shelter, ensuring the homeless are safe and warm in the cold of winter. n

Helping the “First Suburb”

Poverty in Westchester is no longer limited to cities such as Yonkers and Mount Vernon; it exists in pockets of places like Mamaroneck, Tarrytown, and Ossining, where

rents are high and working families scrape by. Federal poverty guidelines don’t capture the true need in Westchester, where one in three public school students is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

That’s why the Westchester Community Foundation sees poverty as an urgent problem. Grants totaling $27,000 to the Westchester Children’s Association and the Child Care Council of Westchester help these groups advocate for child services and access to child care for working families. And $115,000 to Interfaith Council for

Action, The Bridge Fund of Westchester, El Centro Hispano, Community Resource Center, Community Center of Northern Westchester, and Community Food Pantry is helping poor families apply for low-income tax credits, get job training, and connect to services.

“Because suburban poverty is so hidden, we want the voices of low-income families to be heard,” says Laura Rossi, who was named executive director of our Westchester division in 2015.

Grants totaling $100,000 to Community Voices Heard, CsI Hispanic Parent Leadership Institute, Westchester United, and Advocacy Institute build the leadership skills of residents so they can make better futures for their communities. n

HEALTHY OPTIONs: Our support for All For The East End helped Inspirational Triathlon Racing International, a nonprofit in East Hampton, run sporting events and healthy nutrition workshops for young people from poor communities.

WELL sTOCKED: Our Westchester division helps make fresh produce available to 2,000 families who rely on the food pantry at the Community Center of Northern Westchester in Katonah.

America’s suburban

poor population has

grown 64 percent

since 2000. Now more

people live in poverty

in our suburbs than

in cities.

We invest in

nonprofits that give

quick assistance in

crises while

we revitalize

neighborhoods for

the long term.

(1) Organization

The New York Community Trust and Community Funds, Inc. (including its Long Island and Westchester Divisions) (The Trust) are community foundations created to build permanent charitable endowments for the greater metropolitan region. The Trust, as the consolidated foundations are hereinafter referred to, is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and has been determined not to be a private foundation under Section 509(a)(1) of the Code. The Trust administers more than 2,000 individual charitable funds, each established with an instrument of gift describing either the general or specific purposes for which grants are to be made, usually from income only, but in some cases from principal.

(2) summary of significant Accounting Policies

Accounting standards provide that if the governing body of an organization has the ability to remove a donor restriction, the contributions should be classified as unrestricted net assets. However, under New York State law and The Trust’s governing instruments, the assets are held as endowment funds until such time (if ever) as the governing body deems it prudent and appropriate to expend some part of the principal or appreciation. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements classify all net assets as unrestricted, but segregate the portion that is held as endowment from the funds that are currently available for grants and administration.

Cash equivalents represent short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less, except for those short-term investments managed as part of long-term investment strategies.

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the respective asset. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the respective improvement or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Fixed assets are reported net of accumulated depreciation of $3,069,191 in 2015 and $2,799,355 in 2014.

Investment expenses include fees for bank trustees, investment managers, and custodians.

Grants and services to beneficiaries are expensed with approval of the Distribution Committee of The New York Community Trust (NYCT) or the Board of Directors of Community Funds, Inc. (CFI), and usually paid within one year.

The Trust has adopted a constant growth spending plan for many of its funds. This approach allows spending to increase at a steady rate within the confines of a floor, a ceiling, and a cap. The spending plan is not applied to funds in CFI that are considered to be underwater, as defined by New York State law. At December 31, 2015, no fund was considered to be underwater.

Accounting estimates are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements prepared by management and are based upon management’s current judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(3) investments and Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy requires The Trust to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when mea-suring fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are:

Accounting Standards Update 2009-12 (ASU 2009-12), Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent), allows The Trust, as a practical expedient, to estimate the fair value using net asset value (NAV) for commingled investments that do not have a readily determinable fair market value.

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07 (Update No. 2015-07), Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). The guidance removes the requirement to make certain disclosures and categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Update No. 2015-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Trust elected to early adopt the provisions of Update No. 2015-07 and applied the provisions of the update retrospectively to 2014.

Most of The Trust’s investments are in publicly traded securities or in commingled funds, including common trust funds that are invested in publicly traded securities. Fair value for these investments is based on quoted market prices and observable net asset values. The Trust also invests in hedge funds, and private equity, including private real estate investments. The fair value of these investments has been determined primarily through the net asset values provided by the fund managers utilizing quoted market prices for underlying securities, market values for comparable companies, an income-based approach, or discounted cash flow projections. The Trust received gifts of interests in a limited partnership (LP) investment holding company and a limited liability company (LLC), which are carried at fair value, based on either an appraisal or The Trust’s interest in the net assets of the LLC. These valuations are reviewed for reasonableness by management of The Trust.

CFI invests for long-term growth in real terms, consistent with a reasonable degree of risk. Donor advised funds that require a high degree of liquidity are invested in cash equivalents. The investments of NYCT are held in individual trusts at the bank designated by the donor in the instrument of gift.

The following tables present The Trust’s investments at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

The Trust’s investments valued at NAV include:

U.s. equities – Consist of large cap and small cap funds that invest across numerous sectors.

international equities – Consist of funds that invest in a broad range of developed and emerging markets.

Hedge Funds – Consist of funds that seek to achieve equity-like returns with lower volatility than the equity markets as well as multi-strategy funds that attempt to generate consistent positive returns by fo-cusing on opportunities that are not correlated to the returns of the overall markets. These funds may be redeemed at the net asset value at least annually, and in certain cases more frequently. Advance notice of 30–90 days is required to redeem these investments.

Private equity – These funds focus on buyouts—primarily of midcap companies. Certain funds of funds also have a small allocation to venture capital. As the underlying investments are liquidated, assets are distributed. The liquidation occurs over the life of each vehicle, which is typically 10 years. Certain of The Trust’s investments in private equity involve future cash commitments which amount to approxi-mately $31 million at December 31, 2015.

Fixed income/Other – Consists of one investment grade fund that seeks to achieve a total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Redemption and notice periods for investments in U.S. Equities, International Equities, and Fixed In-come/Other range from daily to monthly liquidity with 1 day to 2 weeks’ notice.

The pension plan is invested in a balanced portfolio of equity and fixed income securities. Annual projected benefit payments for the pension and postretirement medical benefit plans are expected to average $1,389,000 and $104,000, respectively, through 2025.

The following tables present The Trust’s fair value hierarchy for the investments of its defined benefit pension plan as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

The Trust also sponsors a defined contribution retirement plan in which contributions are based upon a specified percentage of salaries and years of service. The expense for this retirement plan was $578,748 in 2015 and $571,349 in 2014.

(6) subsequent events

The Trust evaluated its December 31, 2015 consolidated financial statements for subsequent events through April 27, 2016, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. The Trust is not aware of any subsequent events that would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

(4) Commitments

On March 30, 2004, The Trust entered into a lease agreement for office space expiring March 31, 2020. Future minimum annual rental payment are approximately $1.5 million in 2016 through 2019, and a total of $370,000 thereafter through 2020.

Rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis, in accordance with ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. The excess of recognized expense over actual rent payments as well as landlord provided improvements has been recorded as deferred rent credits. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $1,430,808 and $1,321,293, respectively.

(5) Pension and Postretirement Medical benefit Plans

The Trust administers a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the five highest consecutive years during the last ten years of employment. The Trust also provides medical insurance benefits for its eligible retired employees. Obligations and funded status at December 31 are as follows:

The accumulated amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost were $6,438,928 and ($99,889) at December 31, 2015 for the pension and postretirement medical plans, respectively. The estimated amounts that will be amortized into net periodic benefit cost in 2016 are $388,000 and ($50,000), respectively.

The health care cost trend rate assumption for 2016 is 2.3%, increasing to 5.3% in 2021.

Financial Highlights

Distribution Committee of The New York Community Trust and Board of Directors of Community Funds, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The New York Community Trust and Community Funds, Inc. (including its Long Island and Westchester Divisions) (collectively, The Trust), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related consolidated notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of The New York Community Trust and Community Funds, Inc. (including its Long Island and Westchester Divisions) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in their net assets and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
