Richard Levy stands in the living room of his home in Syracuse. My life changed forever when I was forced to flee Nazi Germany as a young, Jewish boy. I was rescued through the extraordinary kindness of a British family in 1939. My life was saved. Over time, I developed the notion that I was set out to better the world through moral and ethical action. Inspired Giving: Richard Levy I decided to open a fund at the Community Foundation to provide for the causes that resonate with my own life experiences such as refugee resettlement, civil rights and healthcare. My fund makes it easy to facilitate my annual giving now. Leaving a portion of the proceeds of my estate to the fund allows this giving to continue even after I m gone. It gives me great comfort in knowing that my wishes will continue to help future generations facing their own challenges. since 1927 Read more of Richard s story at Levy.5forCNY.org cnycf.org (315) 422-9538
