Community giving helps everyone thrive.

Since 1919, Bronxville, Eastchester, and Tuckahoe residents have ensured that neighbors across the lifespan have access to what they need: nutritious food; opportunities for educational advancement; physical, mental, and social wellness programs; counseling in times of grief; recreation and enrichment; and rehabilitation and prevention services.

We value your generous donations in ANY amount. According to the US Census, there are 13,151 households in Bronxville, Eastchester, and Tuckahoe combined. If each household donated $50 per year, we would raise $657,550. If each household set aside $20 monthly for the Fund, we would raise $3,156,240 annually. For further context, the annual campaign goal in 1952 was $203,000. Accounting for inflation, that amount equals $2,399,992 today.

Give Monthly. Feel Good All Year.

Our donation form allows for donations to be made at whatever interval you choose. If you would rather break it up than give one lump sum, please check the box that says, “Make this donation every…” and select: 

  • Weekly
  • Monthly
  • Quarterly
  • Annually 

Monthly donations really add up, and are an easy way to support your neighbors in need.

Securities

Wire transfer of securities is the simplest way to donate.

You may deduct the full market value of the securities donation from your ordinary income with no transaction costs (brokerage fees are paid by The Community Fund) and avoid capital gains on any appreciation.

Facsimile of The Eastchester Covenant*Are we the oldest Community Fund in NY? 

Going back to the settlement of Eastchester in 1665, the laws laid out in the Eastchester (or “Ten Farms”) Covenant were meant to be “a framework for a good society, a mission statement or blueprint on what type of community our 17th century forefathers wanted their community to be,” including the education of children according to Eastchester historian, Richard Forliano. This document (housed at Eastchester Town Hall) and it’s provisions are complex in contextual nature, but their aim was to form a supportive society.

In a more recent era, The New York Community Trust, founded in 1923, was established a full 4 years after The Community Fund.

We may just be the oldest — and we can certainly lay claim to the intended philosophical standards of community living in a way that supports a thriving population. Stay tuned.
