Who we are
A family effort, rooted in shared values.
East End Trust was founded by husband and wife Monika Gawlowska and Syed D. Mohammed. Coming from two distinctly different backgrounds, they found common ground in the values passed down through their families: deep empathy, respect for honest labor, and the conviction that good fortune is meant to be shared.
Rather than operating as a distant foundation, Monika and Syed run the Trust as an active extension of their own kitchen table — bringing their different perspectives and shared heart directly into the community. From championing emerging entrepreneurs and preserving maritime and farming heritage, to widening access to animal care and addiction recovery, the Trust is their enduring commitment to ensure the East End remains a place where every family has the chance to flourish.
East End Trust is in the process of becoming a registered nonprofit organization.
