SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

Invest in Future Leaders with a Scholarship Fund

These endowed funds help students pursue their educational dreams at school and through immersive learning experiences in Israel and summer camps.
The Foundation awards approximately $100,000 annually in college scholarships and about $80,000 in Israel Experience Scholarships. Our Scholarship Committee carefully considers each application and supports students during the application process. Donors receive letters and updates on students and their successes over time, including personal thank-you notes from grateful recipients.

How It Works

  • Select the criteria or organization you want to support, in consultation with Foundation staff, and name your fund. Provide a gift of $25,000 or more (e.g., cash, stocks, real estate, or other assets)
  • Provide a gift of $25,000 or more (e.g., cash, stocks, real estate, or other assets).

  • Your endowed fund is pooled into a diversified portfolio, managed by expert investment professionals, to maximize current grant dollars available while preserving the principal in perpetuity.
  • Every year, approximately 4 percent of the asset value of your fund is granted to your designated beneficiary while we continue to maintain, invest and grow your fund’s assets.

  • Our Scholarship Committee annually reviews applications and awards scholarships to students matching your criteria.
  • The Foundation handles all administrative requirements and provides you with detailed reports of your fund activities.
