Leadership Development
Investing in leaders of educational, nonprofit and public sector institutions with the aim of deepening their impact on the larger society.
Management of Nonprofits
Fostering excellence in the management of nonprofit and public sector institutions.
Humanities
Promoting the humanities as the foundation of human aspiration and human experience.
Jewish Life
Helping successive generations discover the meaning and significance of Judaism and Jewish culture, and contributing to the vibrancy of Jewish communities.
Urban Engagement
Supporting neighborhood and community development, as an expression of our commitment to just, inclusive and democratic societies.
