I am so excited to be here, and you know, I love talking about this more than anything. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And I'm super excited to spend time with Nelvin, Erin and Brooke. So grateful for this look. I'm just super honored to be the president of this extraordinary organization, one of the oldest community foundations in the country, one that was carefully constructed by my predecessors to be future proof. And they did that, I think, by being innovative and innovative over 100 years. For example, I don't think we talked about this before news flash, 1931 the first donor advised fund. Yay, yeah. And now look, you know, talk about having a seismic impact on philanthropy. 2 million funds across the country, held by public charities, including 800 community foundations. So you know, that's why, actually, this past week, I've been in Washington, sort of trying to defend the donor advised fund as a great democratizer of philanthropy. Because let's face it, many of those 2 million funds are held by people that could never afford to have a private family philanthropy or private foundation, right? So these are donors, many of whom make really pretty modest contributions. I will say that our average staff donor grant is only $1,500 and maybe the balance is only $50,000 but you know what? They're paying out at 20% 15 to 30% relative to private foundation. So these are people, this, this idea that people are sitting on resources. We don't see that in our donors. We see school teachers, firefighters, cab drivers making funds to put to put their dollars to work in New York City. So, so look, that's just one piece, and what we do it. And here's my thing. And you guys know this, I am a big believer that nobody knows what the heck a community foundation is. So whenever I have an audience like this, people, I'm going to go for it. But right? So we've been holding these donor advised funds, but we've also been holding what we call permanent funds for 100 years. And what's a permanent fund? Those are things that are left to us in a will, right? And what we do is we stitch those various funds, in this case, 2300 funds in New York, and it's eight counties we serve, Westchester to the east end of Long Island, and we stitch those together to create this kind of crazy quilt of generosity that wraps around 12. 4 million workers across the eight counties so, and that's what I think makes us future proof, right? It's particularly those permanent funds. And I may have shared this anecdote with you, but I'm going to do it real quickly. So if you love theater, 100 years ago in New York City and you loved entertainment, there was one entertainer you knew, and his name was David Warfield, and he was the wealthiest entertainer in the world in 1920 fast forward, last decade of his life, he becomes blind, and he is so struck by the loss of vision that he leaves a fund at the New York Community Trust, millions of dollars in 1951 to help people with vision loss and blindness. Fast forward. Today, we've made 10s of millions of dollars of grants in David Warfield's name. We are the largest funder of disability in the region. 90% of our dollars we put on the street every year are because of David Warfield. So if you love your community, you want to leave a permanent fund at the New York Community Trust, or whatever your Community Foundation is, because that makes your nonprofit vision for your city future proof so. And then you know, you won't be surprised to know that no one died 15 years ago to say, You know what you should do, you should fight climate change, or you know what you should do, you should close the Rikers Island. And so that's why we need living donors, donor advice funds, working with those permanent funds to come together to solve the issues we're trying to combat today, and that has real power. If I look at Nelvin, we have made something like 117 donor advised fund grants to the Bowery Mission in the last 25 years, which comes to like, hundreds of 1000s of dollars, right? So it's the power of collective action, and that's what I think makes us so powerful. But man, do we need to do a lot of work, technology, engaging new donors, putting a fresh face on our organization. You'll see all that happening this year, and you know, it's, it's work that needs to be done. So people know who the heck we are. So that's my pitch for future proof. Invest in your local community foundation and make it as permanent as you can.
