Koret Foundation

Based in San Francisco, the Koret Foundation is a private philanthropic organization committed to strengthening the Bay Area community and nurturing the continuity of the Jewish People worldwide.

Koret’s Bay Area grantmaking focuses on four initiatives: higher education, K-12 education, arts and culture, and civic projects. The Foundation supports nonprofit community organizations focused on helping struggling families, providing food aid to those in need, expanding access to education, and enriching communities through arts and cultural programs. Koret’s Jewish community grantmaking focuses on Jewish Peoplehood, U.S.-Israel bridge-building, and supporting Jewish institutions in the U.S. and abroad.

The Koret Foundation is committed to innovation, testing new ideas, and serving as a catalyst for positive change by bringing people and organizations together to help solve social problems of common concern.
