Trinity Wall Street Church

Trinity Wall Street Church

Trinity Wall Street Church was founded in 1697. Its endowment originated from a colonial land grant that still generates revenue through direct ownership and joint ventures. Meredith Jenkins serves as Chief Investment Officer. The structure channels returns into parish operations, global ministries, and local social services. The endowment deploys across real estate, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, and private credit. Hudson Square Properties LLC holds a 12-building Manhattan portfolio of roughly six million square feet, developed with Norges Bank Investment Management and operated by Hines. Confirmed positions include commitments to Accel Leaders 3, Viola Ventures, OEP Capital Advisors, Collide Capital, and Moderne Ventures. Geographic exposure spans North America, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and South America. Ticket sizes start at $10 million. The organization employs 322 people. Additional holdings include Trinity Retreat Center in West Cornwall, Connecticut, St. Margaret's House subsidized housing, and 4 Hudson Square, leased to The Walt Disney Company for 99 years. Trinity Church Wall Street Philanthropies distributes between $46 million and $65 million annually, with recent grants directed to housing and racial justice organizations in New York. In May 2024 the investment team participated as panelists at the AIMA Digital Assets Conference. Trinity maintains a three-pillar ESG framework that screens managers on sustainability and inclusion metrics. It co-founded the Institutional Allocators for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion network. The church also holds a 51 percent stake in Hudson Square Properties LLC and excludes holdings whose activities conflict with stated mission criteria.
