$270-Million 9/11 Fund Pivots to Aid Others in Need - News - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: nstead of closing its doors as other 9/11 charities have done, the organization is becoming a major benefactor in New York and beyond.

“Although the 9/11 families were our primary focus, we had the opportunity to take what we had learned from that community and use it in other natural disasters and emergencies and to assist other organizations that were giving direct services,” says Edie Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund’s chief executive. She and Cantor Fitzgerald’s CEO, Howard Lutnick, lost their brother Gary in the attacks.
