In 1780, winter temperatures were so intense in New York City that the New York harbor froze over. As a result, New Yorkers could travel on foot between Manhattan, Long Island, New Jersey, and Staten Island. Troops fighting in the American Revolution used the ice to transport canons between locations. Today, the New York Harbor is protected in part by the Waterfront Alliance, a coalition of 1,100 organizations that aim to create accessible and equitable waterways that are alive with commerce and recreation. The Trust made an early grant to help start the Waterfront Alliance.

Elise Jerard was born and raised in New York City and graduated from Hunter College in 1922. Early in her career, she wrote for magazines including The New Yorker. She was critical of nuclear power and an early proponent of the development of solar power. Elise was also an advisor to multiple environmental organizations, including the Environmental Defense Fund. A fund in her name at The Trust has made grants to many nonprofits that focus on the environment, such as Green Guerillas, which helps New Yorkers cultivate community gardens, grow food, engage youth, and address issues critical to the future of food justice and urban agriculture.

Huge thank you to the wonderful team at Hyperakt, including Deroy Peraza, Julia Zeltser, and Lauren M Jones for developing our beautiful—and, well, transformative—new identity. Yesterday evening we joined Hyperakt and Michele Moore, David Perrin, Jessica Reynolds, and Victor Ng representing the Ford Foundation at the 2024 Transform magazine Awards, where we won a Bronze for “Best visual identity by a charity or not-for-profit.” Shoutout to The Trust's Marketing and Communications team, Mariann Asayan, Amy Wolf, Zharia G., Elizabeth Mirarchi, Courtney Biggs, Jacob Peña, and Steven Smith, at The Trust for rolling out the rebrand. (and hat tip to Kerry McCarthy!) Watch our transformation journey here 🦋🔗: https://lnkd.in/exiHszux #TransformAwards2024 #TransformMagazine #TheNewYorkCommunityTrust #Hyperakt #FordFoundation

I did not know this, but as a Muppet-obsessive and Bonnie Erickson-phanatic, this is so cool to see their contributions to NYC! Speaking of Muppets and the incredible New York Community Trust, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining a panel celebrating 100 years of The New York Community Trust at The Museum of the Moving Image on October 22nd. Come join us for this exciting event, and while you're there, don’t miss The Jim Henson Exhibition, which features Bonnie Erickson’s Miss Piggy Lee in her iconic The Muppets Take Manhattan wedding dress. Hope to see you there! #Muppets #NYCommunityTrust #JimHensonExhibition #BonnieErickson #MuseumoftheMovingImage #MissPiggy #NYCEvents #SAGEServes SAGE
As a young costume designer in New York City, Bonnie Erickson was hired by Jim Henson in 1970 to make costumes for the film The Frog Prince. Bonnie went on to design the Muppet’s prettiest porcine character, Miss Piggy, as well as the infamous duo Statler and Waldorf. She and her husband, Wayde Harrison, run a successful design and production company that has produced many beloved mascots, including the Phillie Phanatic. The couple has a donor-advised fund at The Trust.

Last night, our CEO Gisele Castro was honored to participate as a panelist at a special event hosted by The New York Community Trust. We extend our gratitude to Roderick Jenkins for leading this crucial discussion and to Insha Rahman for her exceptional leadership in the field.
Last night, I was honored to be a panelist on For Justice, Forever - Breaking the Cycle of Harm & Incarceration, a discussion focused on juvenile justice history and policy in NYC, at the brand-new Bronx Music Hall. I was joined by co-panelist, and longtime colleague and friend in this work, Insha Rahman of Vera Institute of Justice, and our fantastic moderator, Roderick Jenkins, Program Director at The New York Community Trust. The event was to celebrate the Trust's 100th Anniversary of impactful philanthropy in the NYC Metro area. exalt is proud to not only be a grantee of the Trust, but thankful for its prioritization of higher education for justice-involved young people. With the help of the Trust, exalt has invested over $300,000 for 35 young people to go to college, and has supported our organization to prepare for broader scale. Thank you, Roderick, for your leadership and vision, and to NYCT's President, Amy Freitag, for your unwavering commitment to young people's futures - for they are our leaders of tomorrow. We closed out the night with Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson, providing a Proclamation and an incredible performance by the Bronx's very own Grammy nominated Latin Jazz artist Bobby Sanabria!
