The KaufmanFoundation
About Us

Our story, mission, and values

A family foundation committed to education, the Jewish community, and Israel.

Our Story

How it began

The Kaufman family established the Foundation in 2020 with a simple purpose: to help families in need and to stand behind many organizations across Israel. It remains a family effort, guided by the belief that generosity is most meaningful when it is lasting.

Our Mission

Why we give

The Kaufman Foundation exists to support education and to strengthen the Jewish community and Israel. We give as a family, with the hope that the work we support will endure well beyond any single grant.

What We Believe

Our values

01

Learning as a foundation

We see education as one of the most powerful ways to open opportunity and strengthen a community.

02

Rooted in Jewish values

Tzedakah, community responsibility, and care for future generations shape how we give.

03

Partnership over transactions

We value long-term relationships with the organizations we support and the people who lead them.

04

Accountability, quietly held

We ask hard questions before we commit, and we stay close enough afterward to know whether the work is landing — without turning our partners' time into paperwork.
