Description
1) Objective
The England Family Foundation is a private family foundation funded by the generosity of Dick and Lois England. Based in Washington, DC, the Foundation is driven by the Englands’ desire to improve their community, as well as to support other U.S. and international organizations. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $25 million in grants. The Foundation is proud to support organizations working in the following areas:
- To promote engagement by the Jewish community in Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) through improving the situation of underserved populations and people in crisis.
- To encourage Jews to become active in Jewish culture, synagogue life, and the Jewish community.
- To combat anti-Semitism by promoting a positive view of Jews and of Israel through education and dialogue.
- To build coalitions with non-Jews on areas of common concern and to improve intergroup relations.
- To participate in the local Jewish community by supporting local organisations which are valued by trustees of the Foundation.
- In Israel, grants are focused on enhancing the democratic nature of Israel by promoting economic empowerment, civil rights, religious diversity and peaceful coexistence between Jews and Arabs.
