Sue and Elliott Weinstein Family Fund

Sue Weinstein is a Yorker and proud of it. She met her husband, Elliott, while they were at Penn State, and when she took her first teaching job in York, Elliott followed. “The rest,” she says, “is history. We’ve been here ever since, and it was the best decision Elliott ever made!” Both Sue and Elliott are happy to be in a community like York because of the meaningful connections they have created. They raised their three children in York but have always counted philanthropy as a fourth child. They created their fund at the Community Foundation as a strategic financial charitable plan to support their community forever. “It’s all about community,” Elliott says. “Our three kids will understand when we divide our estate into fourths rather than thirds, because if you don’t help create community, you have no stake in it.” Elliott emphasized the importance of endowed charitable giving, which allows the Weinsteins to maintain a level of giving despite economic factors that may affect their business. “The time was right to take advantage of the Community Foundation’s endowment building and be assured this fund will help our community forever.”
