Samuel Staten, Sr. Charitable Trust…
Giving Back to Our Community – Since 1999
The Samuel Staten, Sr. Charitable Trust raises funds to assist charitable
organizations that provide services to the needy in the five county area
of Philadelphia.
The Samuel Staten,
Sr. Charitable Trust (formerly Laborers’
District Council Charity Fund of the Metropolitan area of Philadelphia
and Vicinity) has been helping members and their families and the community
enjoy a better standard of living by providing jobs and benefits since
their charter in 1937.
The Samuel Staten, Sr. Charitable Trust believes in the principles that unionism was founded on: a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work, and worker’s rights. The Trust also believes that next-generation unionism must vigorously pursue workers’ rights based on management and union cooperation and the advancement of member education.

We
chose our charities based on how they relate to our members. We have given
to charities that research disease, educate youth, teach life values, provide
a safe haven to disadvantaged children and much more. Our events continue
to be magnificent successes. The longevity of the golf event and the funds
we have raised for various charities prove that organized labor can truly
make a difference in the community.
