About the Frankel Family Foundation
The Frankel Family Foundation (FFF) was established in 2002. The Foundation owes its existence and inspiration to Bud Frankel, who inherited a spirit of giving and helping others from his immigrant parents. As a family foundation, the FFF reflects and perpetuates the interests and concerns of all of the family members.
The Frankel Family Foundation is informed by Jewish values and the concept of "tzedak" meaning justice or what is right. We are required and privileged to engage in the work of improving the world and addressing injustice.
The Foundation has three priority areas:
- Environment and Conservation
- Jewish and Israel
- Refugees and Displaced Persons
The Foundation seeks to support organizations that reflect the population that is being served, incorporating their experiences, assets and input into organizational and program design and, where possible, its leadership. The Foundation seeks to support organizations which display sensitivity to gender and diversity.
