Schusterman Foundation – Israel works in the following program areas:

• Child abuse, particularly regarding treatment, training, and prevention programs
• Jewish peoplehood and renewal
• Arts and culture
• Early childhood development, particularly the adoption of best practices
• Moreover, the SFI assists organizations in the Former Soviet Union, helping to promote pluralistic Jewish values, deepen Jewish identity, and encourage community-building efforts.
