Boaz Salik Charitable Foundation

At 14 Wall St, one foundation quietly redirects pooled resources toward social causes close to its founder’s legacy. The Boaz Salik Charitable Foundation sits a block from the big-bank core but leans in the opposite direction, working with grant partners across micro-lending and emergency relief. They also channel funds into educational programs and healthcare mobilization, each dollar targeted by a board that meets on site or in affiliates around the city.

Call them at +64 6 998 3980 for availability or details, though no grand lobby greets visitors. Southeast Manhattan hums nearby—traders, suit-clad commuters, food carts at the curb—while the foundation’s mailbox hums with reports and grant decisions. To reach its door (and more), consult the map for precise steps through the midday downtown traffic.
