Description
The Alan B. Slifka Foundation provides grant funding to nonprofit organizations advancing its mission in four main areas: fostering a world safe for difference, promoting a tolerant and democratic Jewish state in Israel, perpetuating Jewish life in Israel and the U.S., and supporting biomedical research (including sarcoma, cancer, and autism spectrum disorders). The Foundation also supports international disaster relief. Funding is typically by invitation and targets specific projects, though general operating support is occasionally considered.
