Arzi Stiftung is a Zurich-based family-style foundation that combines Jewish communal support with targeted welfare and health-related assistance. Its giving is unusually long-term and structural: it backs Jewish education in Zurich through an investment-based education fund, provides emergency aid to Jewish individuals and families in verified hardship, and supports Torah-learning institutions and student livelihoods through capacity-building project support. The foundation also appears to fund specialized therapeutic and medical support for children and families, especially where care has a clear, practical impact on quality of life.
Primarily targeted, non-open grantmaking with board review rather than a public competitive application process. Support includes long-term endowment-style funding, direct hardship assistance considered at quarterly board meetings, and project-based help for institutions and programs; grant sizes are not publicly specified.

There is no broad public grants portal; most support appears to be initiated through direct contact or case-by-case review. For hardship aid, applications must be well documented and will be considered when the board meets about four times per year. For institutional or project support, approach the foundation early with a clear plan showing long-term sustainability, measurable impact, and alignment with Jewish education or community welfare.
