Trust Stewards are leaders in championing our mission to extend the use of the Archives through educational and community engagement programs across the Empire State. A Steward Program term is 3 years and requires a pledge to raise and/or support the Trust's Annual Fund at a minimum of $1,000+ per year (pledge of $3,000+ for 3-year term).
