Jewish Peoplehood

Overview

Koret supports innovative approaches to community challenges, particularly those with significant public policy implications. Specifically, we support organizations and initiatives in the areas of Education; Arts, Culture, & Civic Life; Israel; and Jewish Peoplehood.

Education

Every child deserves the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, and a competitive marketplace increases the odds of realizing this fundamental American birthright. Our strategy is to exert external market pressure on public school districts to encourage excellence.

Israel

Our advocacy for Israel is two–fold: We strongly support the Middle East's only democracy as a vital partner for U.S. security interests, and we envision a future in which Israel can shift her focus from precaution to prosperity – a hallmark of a truly thriving democracy.

Arts Culture & Civic Institutions

When a region's arts thrive, the region thrives. Not only the local people, but those from the suburbs or farther afield are drawn to the area for cultural enrichment. They may dine or shop or spend the night, quickening the economy. And thriving arts organizations create jobs, another force for economic growth.

Jewish Peoplehood

Love of education. Respect for hard work. Appreciation of community. And pastrami on rye. Mix together in equal parts and you have the makings of a people — the Jewish people.
