Jewish Issues

Goal:

In concert with the other strategies employed by the foundation, the Jewish Issues impact area seeks to connect the legacy of our founders with the needs of our communities and the passions of our board members.

Guiding Principles:

While there are many ways to accomplish our goal, we will seek to support programs and organizations that:

  • provide a safe haven in Israel for all Jews while ensuring they have the tools and opportunities to become viable, productive citizens,
  • provide Jewish education and Jewish identity programs for the diaspora and
  • ensure Jewish communities throughout the world remain strong and able to provide for their citizens.
