Current Board of Trustees

Our trustees bring experience, expertise, and vision to the Foundation. They are philanthropists and activists in the arts, health services, religious and spiritual organizations, environmental advocacy groups, schools and universities, poverty programs, and citizen action groups. The majority are descendants of Nathan Cummings. Other family members, who serve on Foundation committees as associates of the Foundation or who participate in the community grants program, also contribute actively to the work of the Foundation.
