Community

As Christians we face the injustices of the world head-on and respond with love in action. At Trinity Church, we steward our resources to meet the needs right in front of us, here in our Lower Manhattan neighborhood. Loving our neighbors is how we follow Jesus. 

How We Work

Trinity Church uniquely serves as both a grant-maker and an organization providing support to those in need.

How We Give

At a time of great and increasing need in our neighborhood, and across the world, our faith calls us to use our gifts to help all people, advancing equity and justice in the here and now — and hopefully for generations to come. Since 2020, Trinity has granted $180 million to more than 400 organizations.
