Schusterman Israel Foundation

The Schusterman Israel Foundation (Hebrew: קרן שוסטרמן ישראל) is a philanthropic foundation operating in Israel as part of the broader Schusterman family philanthropic network. According to its official website, the foundation has been active for more than 30 years on behalf of the Jewish people and the State of Israel, engaging in social action and strengthening Israel out of a connection to Zionist values. It describes its approach as strategic philanthropy that promotes broad collaborations and continuous learning. The foundation's stated vision is to strengthen Israel as the national home of the Jewish people — a secure state with a thriving democracy and a diverse society that cares for its most vulnerable populations. Its activities are organized around several areas, including society and welfare, and shared society. In the welfare field, the foundation concentrates many efforts on strengthening Israeli society and fostering its resilience, donating to organizations and initiatives that assist the most vulnerable populations and developing, alongside additional partners, a strategy for deep accompaniment and systemic, wide-scale measures. In the area of shared society, the foundation believes in expanding the common denominator between different groups in Israeli society and supports activities that promote shared life in a Jewish, secure, democratic and egalitarian state. The foundation is part of the Schusterman family's wider philanthropic enterprise, which also includes the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation and related entities. Its work is characterized by a strategic, collaborative and learning-oriented approach to philanthropy, aiming to create systemic change rather than one-off charitable gifts. The foundation maintains an official website at schusterman.org.il, where it publishes information about its mission, activities and partners.
