Our people
New York Life employees collaborate with hundreds of charitable organizations and help coordinate volunteer projects every year to address community needs across the country.
Our bereavement and education research
The New York Life Foundation collaborates on surveys and research to better understand our philanthropic areas in efforts to invest, partner, and address these fields.
Our corporate responsibility
At New York Life, our mission starts with the responsibility to provide financial security to families and businesses across the country. And that care extends to our people, our communities, and our governance.
They protect our families. So let’s protect theirs.
Those on the front lines of this pandemic are acting on their love to protect families and save lives. In response, the New York Life Foundation partnered with Cigna Foundation to create the Brave of Heart Fund (the Fund) powered by E4E; honoring healthcare workers and volunteers who go to hospitals and medical facilities every day, knowingly putting themselves in harm's way while working with COVID-19 positive patients. The Fund provides support to families of frontline healthcare works and healthcare volunteers who lost their lives fighting COVID-19.
Supporting communities during COVID-19
In 2020, New York Life responded to the unexpected. When COVID-19 hit, New York Life and our Foundation provided emergency pandemic relief grants to support communities across the country.
Inspiring real change
We are committed to serving individuals and communities through a wide array of programs and grants.
