Helmsley Trustee Walter Panzirer recently wrote an op-ed for the Las Vegas Sun about our decision to partner with The Trevor Project and the importance of intersectional grantmaking:
“In my younger days working as a paramedic and firefighter in California and a school resource officer in South Dakota, I saw first-hand the disparity between the quality of health care offered to rural Americans compared with their urban counterparts. So, when I took on the role of a trustee for the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, I made it my mission to ensure that every person has equal access to top-notch health care, regardless of their ZIP code.”
