Foundation Priorities Fall into Four Categories:

• Cultivate a World Safe for Difference 
• Ensure Israel is a Tolerant, Equitable and Democratic Jewish state
• Perpetuate the Jewish People in Israel and the U.S
• Support Biomedical Research in Sarcoma, Cancer, and Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Support International Disaster Relief

For most of our grants, the Foundation will only consider the grant applications of those organizations that have been invited to submit proposals. For those Shared Society or Jewish Life organizations interested in consideration, please visit the Shared Society or Jewish Life program pages. For those interested in submitting grant applications for our Sarcoma Research Grants program, please visit the Sarcoma Research program page.
