The John Clarke Trust
Upon his death in 1676, John Clarke left no descendants, and his will instructed that a trust be created "for the relief of the poor and the bringing up of children unto learning from time to time forever." The John Clarke Trust, which is administered by Bank of America, is the oldest charitable trust in the United States. Every year, the John Clarke Trust donates thousands of dollars to social service and educational institutions throughout southeastern New England.
