We encourage you to learn more about how The Foundation is the ideal place to transform your virtues and values into a meaningful legacy of tzedakah.

One person whose virtues and values deserve special recognition is Lorin Fife, former Chair of The Foundation from 2009­­­–2012.

“Working together to strengthen our Jewish community and make L.A. a better place for everyone helped to make 2012 a very special year.”

-Dan Rothblatt, Senior Vice President, Philanthropic Services

Our Investment Committee, composed of professionals who manage portfolios totaling billions of dollars, pursues a diversified investment strategy designed to balance return on assets within acceptable risk parameters. To strengthen performance when the market is up and limit losses when it is down, the Investment Committee relies on investment management firms with proven expertise in specific asset classes. The Investment Committee—supported by an independent institutional investment consulting firm—routinely analyzes fluctuations in financial sectors and market conditions and meets quarterly to evaluate manager performance and to monitor portfolio risk.

In 2012, The Foundation awarded a total of $5 million to seed new programs and support initiatives that enhance the health and well-being of our community and Israel.

FOUNDATION LEGACY GRANTS In 2012, The Foundation awarded a total of $5 million to seed new programs and support initiatives that enhance the health and wellbeing of our community and Israel. Together with Foundation staff, the Grants Committee strives to maximize the impact of these awards.

This year, funding was provided for Community Grants—including Cutting Edge Grants and Israel Grants—and Endowment Grants.

Community Grants Providing support to address important issue areas in both the Jewish community and community-at-large, Community Grants are awarded annually through a competitive process. In 2012, nearly $2 million was distributed in this category.

Cutting Edge Grants To inspire social entrepreneurs, creative thinkers, and innovative organizations to develop significant, transformative programs for the L.A. Jewish community, The Foundation provides seed funding

“What was most enjoyable last year were the many opportunities to meet with Foundation donors and hear their uplifting stories of family and philanthropy.”

to launch new, high-impact programs. Through its Cutting Edge Grants Initiative, awards of up to $250,000 are distributed over a maximum three-year period. In addition to the funding itself, The Foundation’s grants professionals also provide special assistance and guidance to the grant recipients throughout the duration of the grant award to help strengthen the program and its outcomes.

In 2012, The Foundation provided $1.1 million for five Cutting Edge Grants, including a $175,000, three-year grant to The Jewish Federation for PresenTenseLA: The Federation’s Social Entrepreneurs Fellowship, to recruit, train, and mentor 36 Jewish entrepreneurial fellows to help them launch start-up ventures leading to new pathways for Jewish engagement and community building. The goal is to provide these young social entrepreneurs with the leadership skills, business tools, and connections—through a Jewish lens—that turn ideas into ventures that will engage, inspire, and transform the Los Angeles Jewish community and beyond.

Additionally, a $225,000 three-year Cutting Edge Grant was awarded to Remember Us for The Righteous Conversations Project to bring together 400 teenage students with Holocaust survivors to engage in meaningful dialogue focused on personal stories of social injustice. The program, piloted at Harvard-Westlake School in 2011, relates personal stories from the Holocaust to modern day injustices and enables students to improve their skills as social activists. Students will also create public service announcements to bring greater awareness to pressing social issues.

“The Foundation felt like one big family last year. In every meeting throughout 2012, it was more like a ‘cousins’ club’ than a business meeting, with lots of great results.”

-Baruch Littman, Vice President, Development

Israel Grants The Foundation’s Israel Grants support organizations addressing issues related to Jewish identity and those working to promote economic development and self-sufficiency. These grants provide up to $250,000 over three years to organizations in Israel.

A total of $700,000 was awarded in Israel Grants in 2012.

For example, a $100,000 Israel Grant was awarded to Gvahim for its Career Development Program to provide job training, language classes, mentorship, networking tools, and job placement to 75 highly qualified new immigrants to Israel.

Training includes topics such as searching for employment, salary negotiations, and labor laws. Participants regularly meet with an HR consultant and an experienced mentor and can opt to take classes in business Hebrew.

Another recipient, Ein Prat, received a $100,000 Israel Grant for its Elul program to provide pluralistic Jewish educational enrichment to 880 Israeli young adults from across the religious spectrum through a five-week summer intensive program aimed at enriching participants’ Jewish identity and deepening their connection to the Jewish people. Participants take courses in Bible, Talmud, and Jewish history—as well as yoga, drama, and art—and celebrate Shabbat together.

The Foundation’s Israel Grants support organizations addressing issues related to Jewish identity and those working to promote economic development and self-sufficiency.

Endowment Grants To fulfill donors’ philanthropic goals of supporting specific issue areas or organizations and programs they are passionate about, The Foundation works with funders and their families to create Endowment Funds. In 2012, these funds distributed $3 million in

“The positive reception to The Foundation’s educational programming in 2012 stands out as a real highlight for me. We hosted some terrific speakers on relevant philanthropic topics that attracted enthusiastic attendance at each event.”

For example, the Max & Anna Baran, Ben & Sarah Baran and Milton Baran Endowment Fund awarded more than $370,000 to 32 nonprofits in Los Angeles, across the United States, in Europe, and in Israel to serve the needs of the poor, elderly, and food insecure and to support Jewish education, Israel, and medical research.

Social services accounted for more than $15 million or 32 percent of donors’ total giving.
