The City University of New York (CUNY) is the largest urban university system in the United States, with a total of 25 campuses across all five boroughs. CUNY as we know it today was officially formed in 1961, but the accessible and affordable institutions it originated from are traced back as early as 1847, when the Free Academy was founded. Notable CUNY alumni include 10 Nobel Laureates, artist Faith Ringgold, filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, and singer Barry Manilow. The Trust has supported CUNY and its students by funding programs that include accelerated employment opportunities post-COVID, and space for dancers to develop, rehearse, and perform work.
