Grantmaking is the heart of what we do. For nearly 60 years The Foundation and its donors have provided grants to programs and institutions, both Jewish and in the community at large, locally and around the world.
In spite of difficult economic conditions, The Foundation and its donors distributed $52 million in grants in 2010.
When donors establish a Family Support Organization or Donor Advised Fund at The Foundation, they are able to recommend grants directly to the organizations and programs they wish to support. Donors can recommend grants to virtually any nonprofit organization. They may also view a list of programs we've supported in the past.
