About The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust
The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust is a private foundation established in 1999 and overseen by four trustees chosen by Leona Helmsley. Its active grantmaking began in 2008, after the trust received most of the Helmsley estate. The organization presents itself as a global philanthropy aiming to improve lives today and build healthier futures for individuals and communities.
Its work consists of funding outside organizations in health and selected place-based initiatives. The website lists six program areas: Crohn's disease, Israel, rural healthcare, Type 1 diabetes, vulnerable children in Sub-Saharan Africa, and New York City. Grant proposals are accepted by invitation only. The New York office is at 230 Park Avenue in New York, NY 10169, and the trust also lists an office in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
