Company Profile

Company Overview

The Long Island Community Foundation (LICF) is an operating division of The New York Community Trust, one of the largest community foundations in the country. Established in 1978, the LICF identifies current and future community needs, strengthens the Island’s nonprofit sector, encourages philanthropy and, with our generous donors, builds a permanent endowment to address these needs. LICF has made more than $130 million in grants from hundreds of funds established by individuals, families, and businesses. LICF seeks to improve the quality of life in Nassau and Suffolk Counties and has identified the eight priority areas for our competitive grantmaking: Hunger, Youth Violence Prevention, Community Development, Equal Access to Education, Health, Technical Assistance, Environment, Arts and Culture. In addition, LICF also manages grants made from the Long Island Unitarian Universalist Fund established by the Unitarian Universalist Veatch Program at Shelter Rock, a field of interest fund that promotes progressive social change.
