The Fred C. Trump Foundation is a private foundation established by Fred Trump, the former chairman of The Trump Organization, to support his charitable endeavors. Its activities encompassed the provision of gifts, grants, and loans to a variety of religious, cultural, and historical institutions and initiatives.[1] From 1969 until the mid-2010s, the foundation was managed by his son, Donald Trump, in conjunction with his elder brother, Robert Trump, who passed away in 2020, and the family’s long-serving legal counsel, Irwin Durben, who died in 2016.[2]
History
[edit]The Fred C. Trump Foundation was established on March 24, 1952 to facilitate the philanthropic endeavors of Fred C. Trump, who was then president of Trump Management. Throughout its operational history, the foundation primarily allocated funding to religious, cultural, and historical organizations[3] located within the Greater New York City area.
Upon Donald Trump assuming the role of president of The Trump Organization on August 1, 1969,[4] he served as vice president of the foundation alongside the family’s long-time legal counsel, Irwin Durben, and his brother, Robert Trump.[5][6][7]
The organization’s last publicly disclosed grants occurred in 2005. By the mid-2010s, the foundation was placed under the stewardship of the law firm Durben & Haskel.[8] Despite this, the foundation is still officially part of The Trump Organization, of which Donald Trump is the owner of.[9]
In 2018, the foundation, along with other subsidiaries of The Trump Organization, became the subject of a freedom of information request by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which sought details pertaining to Donald Trump’s offers-in-compromise and tax returns.[9]
