IN BRIEF

Oscar Stephen Pollock, founder of The Bridge Fund

Oscar Stephen Pollock died March 7 in Katonah at Deer Hill Farm.

He was a 1951 graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy. He attended Harvard University majoring in philosophy, graduating in 1955.

Pollock’s first job after college was as an analyst trainee at J.P. Morgan & Co. He continued his career in research at Value Line and Lehman Brothers before becoming a general partner at Neuberger Berman.

In 1974 he joined the brokerage firm of Ingalls & Snyder LLC as a director, celebrating his 50th anniversary with the firm in 2024. He was deeply committed to advancing the interests of individual investors, and co-authored several Wall Street Journal articles advocating for capital gains tax reforms.

Beyond his professional achievements, in 1991 he and his wife, Nan, founded The Bridge Fund of Westchester County with the guidance of the Rev. Peter Larom of Grace Episcopal Church. The organization aimed to prevent homelessness among working poor families and individuals. Its success led to the establishment of The Bridge Fund in New York City in 1992, which now serves all five boroughs and has helped more than 50,000 individuals. 

He is survived by his wife, Nan Pollock (née Pandjiris) and other family members. 

The funeral service will be private. A memorial at a later date will celebrate Pollock’s life.

Contributions in his memory may be made to The Bridge Fund of New York, 271 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10016, or thebridgefund.org.
