The New England Society is one of the oldest charitable organizations in the United States. Founded in 1805 for the purpose of promoting "friendship, charity, and mutual assistance," today the Society funds a Scholarship Program for New York City students attending New England Colleges and Universities. The Society celebrates New England heritage through its charitable works and social activities for members and guests.
