Jewish life & israel

The Jewish community’s highest ideals have the power to help heal our broken world.

LSPFF supports efforts that advance flourishing Jewish life, and that exercise the diverse expression of Jewish values. Ensuring that the Jewish community is vibrant and in active relationship with the broader society is important. We support high volume, broad-scale initiatives, and visionary professional leadership, and are particularly interested in programs that are synergistic with LSPFF’s priority interests in realizing the full potential of children, teens and families, their health and well-being, the arts, equity, democracy and civic engagement.
