Issue Areas

We focus our philanthropy on a few key giving areas

This concentration allows us to develop sector expertise that informs grantmaking. To facilitate this approach we have staff dedicated to specific portfolio areas.

We focus our venture philanthropy teams on our Education and Jewish/Israel portfolios where we pilot and scale new ideas with strong likelihood for impact. Our Epilepsy work supports ongoing scientific research and other strategic initiatives related to improving the lives and care of people with epilepsy.
