Arcadia Foundation

About Arcadia Foundation

Arcadia Foundation’s largest recent gift was a $1,500,000 grant to National Library of Israel USA for general financial support, a strong signal of its interest in Israel-linked cultural institutions. The foundation also backed Jewish communal infrastructure at scale, including $774,970 to Jewish Silicon Valley in 2025 and $725,030 to the same organization in 2024. That combination points to a funder working across both Israel-related priorities and local Jewish community life, rather than a single-issue donor. The pattern extends to institutions that support Jewish life, education, and service networks. Arcadia Foundation gave $900,000 to Jwb Jewish Chaplains Council and $500,000 to Oshman Family Jcc, both for general financial support. It also made six-figure grants to organizations tied to Jewish continuity and civic presence, including Chabad House-almaden, Congregation Am Echad, Hillel International, and South Peninsula Hebrew Day School. Across these grants, the foundation appears comfortable funding core institutional needs, with many awards described as general financial support. The grant list also shows support for Israel-focused policy and emergency-response organizations, alongside cultural and educational institutions. In practice, Arcadia Foundation’s giving connects local Silicon Valley Jewish infrastructure with national and Israel-oriented institutions, using sizable unrestricted grants to strengthen organizational capacity.
