Our Story
Our philanthropic journey began in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1987. Together with their children, Charles and Lynn Schusterman decided to establish a family foundation as a way to give back to the causes and communities closest to their hearts.
Our Mission and Values
Our work is inspired by our founders’ deep commitment to Jewish ethics, values and lessons. Our values shape the beliefs that inform our investments and define how we approach our work.
Our Approach
We believe systemic change happens at the individual, organizational, field and sector levels. That’s why we fund charitable and advocacy activities and run programs to prepare leaders to be drivers for change.
Our Team
