For The New York Community Trust, its 100th birthday isn’t just an opportunity to celebrate its impact to date. It’s a chance to commit to the future of our region and the people who will shape it. President Amy Freitag shares how The Trust is throwing the doors open on philanthropy and making sure that everyone who wants to give can do so in powerful and amplified ways by working with their community foundation. Amy Freitag became president of the New York Community Trust in 2022. Previously, she was executive director of the J.M.
