Mission & Focus Areas

The organization’s filing says its giving is directed to the Jewish community and the community at large, benefiting programs and institutions with an emphasis on health and medical research, education and children, arts and culture, social services, and Jewish causes. The filing says most grants are for one year of general operations. For specified-purpose, multi-year grants, it says agreements set benchmarks, which are monitored, and grantees must submit a written report showing fulfillment before receiving the next installment.

The grantees listed in the 2024 filing illustrate the range of supported organizations. Milken Community School describes its work as teaching Jewish religious courses and standard subjects; Beit T’Shuvah says it provides psychological and spiritual healing to people and families affected by addiction and other destructive behaviors; and Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles says it provides social services to help people live with dignity and self-determination. Hillel at UCLA describes its mission as serving Jewish students through Jewish life, learning, and Israel.
