The Frankel Family Foundation aims to create a world of equal opportunity within a healthy, sustainable planet. It focuses on promoting a just society that safeguards both the environment and its diverse inhabitants. The foundation is motivated by Jewish values of justice ("tzedak") and is committed to combating climate change, supporting sustainable energy initiatives, and addressing the developed world's reliance on fossil fuels.
The Frankel Family Foundation directs its support towards national organizations in the United States that are leaders in grassroots organizing and advocacy for sustainable energy and significant reduction in carbon emissions. Specific areas of interest include combatting climate change, advancing access to quality education for refugees, youth development, mental health, and furthering the interests of the Jewish community and a peaceful, democratic Israel. The foundation offers grants of up to $100,000, which can be for general operations, project or program support, capacity building, or capital campaigns, but generally does not support local or place-based environmental projects.
