Funding Application - Heisman Thank you for your interest in applying for Heisman Trust Funding. The Heisman Trophy Trust recently established the Heisman Trophy Fund for Youth Development with New York Community Trust (NYCT). Established in 1924, New York Community Trust is one of the largest community foundations in the United States.
