A magnificent park is the jewel in a great city, and among the most magnificent of these lies at the heart of one of the world’s greatest cities. Befittingly, Alex von Furstenberg, a philanthropist-businessman of New York extraction, has contributed his share in caring for Central Park, one of the city’s greatest treasures, through his family’s charity organization.

For New Yorkers, Central Park is one of the city’s most iconic monuments. Located at the heart of the city itself, this shining emerald serves as one of the crowning achievements in landscape architecture. It provides the denizens of Manhattan with both a place to unwind from city life and a place to get in touch with nature. This island of green also represents a considerable investment in the environment, serving as a means to stem the city’s pollution.

A neighborhood’s park benefits both the community and the environment, and the Big Apple is no exception. Therefore, for Alex von Furstenberg, maintaining Central Park is a noble service both to the city where he spent his youth. His organization, the Diller–von Furstenberg Family Foundation, has given grants to the Central Park Conservancy , the philanthropic institution responsible for the upkeep of the park.
