Areas of Interest

The following pages are a sampling of past and recent grants that represent the kinds of projects that the Foundation values. It by no means is exhaustive, but instead simply representative. Icons are used to represent the various areas of interest. As you will see, many grants relate to multiple areas of Foundation interest. We also indicate whether the grant was operating, program, or capital in nature.

Arts
Art has always played an important role in civilized society. We are interested in helping secure this role by supporting major institutions, arts education, and the development of artists. View Grants

Children

Though it is a truism that children are our future, unfortunately our society does not dedicate the resources towards them that their importance deserves. We are interested in improving the lives of children by supporting critical, direct services and by supporting teachers and parents in their roles as major influencers in the development of children.

Community
Our modern age has witnessed a serious disintegration of our social structures and an associated deterioration in human behavior. We hope to build more ethical and humane communities by encouraging civic engagement and addressing basic human needs for health and safety. View Grants

Disabilities
People with disabilities are marginalized and excluded all too often. We aim to improve the lives of people with disabilities by supporting efforts that promote inclusion and that empower people with disabilities towards self-sufficiency. View Grants

Judaism
In the ever-expanding melting pot in which we live, we believe there is still much value in retaining ethnic identity as a way to preserve cultural diversity. Focusing on our family’s own rich heritage, we recognize the importance of supporting efforts that foster the continuity of a vibrant Jewish culture. View Grants
