Leslie Bulion, Leadership Donor & Past Camper
“In the summer of 1965 my father was University Settlement Camp's Work Camp director and my mother the Arts and Crafts counselor. I returned to USC a few years later, first a camper, then Work Camper, then Farm and Nature counselor. I spent those formative years steeped in University Settlement's vision and mission of our community and greater society as a healthier, more just, and equitable place for all. I am honored to help support University Settlement's continued, critically important work.”
Tiger Foundation
The Tiger Foundation has been a long-time funder of University Settlement’s Butterflies program, which provides mental health services for children ages zero to five and their families. This innovative program has been especially critical given the recent increase in need for mental health services, and we are grateful for the Tiger Foundation’s generous partnership in this important work.
Krishna Swamy, Monthly Donor & Past Volunteer
“While in college, I tutored students on the weekends as part of University Settlement's Beacon Program. Once I began my professional career, I started thinking about the right way to support the Program's broader work, which, to me, meant something sustainable. I found a recurring donation to be the right choice. My intention is to provide the organization with something it can rely on each month. Personally, I appreciate how the regular contributions remind me of my connection to University Settlement, and how they give me the flexibility to scale my contribution to my means in the years ahead."
Trinity Church Wall Street
Trinity Church Wall Street supports the Families Thriving mental health program, which provides a range of community-based services for children, youth, and families. Trinity's generous investment has allowed us to specifically scale up service for students in Manhattan District 1 schools at a time when mental health services are in increasingly high demand.
Ría and Robyn Mar, Leadership Donors & Early Childhood Parents
“Our twins have been attending University Settlement’s Park Slope North early childhood program for the last two years. They absolutely love it and so do we - it’s such a special and supportive community. We know the organization ensures thousands of other families like us have the resources they need to succeed, and that’s why we’re proud to be their partner.“
The New York Community Trust
The New York Community Trust, a longtime partner of our agency, currently provides support for our Wellness Together program for homebound older adults. The Trust's generous funding for this program has allowed us to sustainably scale up services and provide older adult participants with the flexible and holistic support needed to remain in their homes as they age.
