The Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation is part of the Schusterman Philanthropic Network (SPN), a global network of philanthropic initiatives started by the Schusterman family in the U.S., Israel and Canada. What originally started as a one-office foundation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has expanded its reach to 11 time zones, nearly 30 team members and, through our work, hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

While each organization has its own mandate, we work collaboratively wherever possible to achieve our complementary missions. SPN’s integrated system of global grantmaking, professional development and networking alliances embodies our founders’ innovative approach to communal change.
