About Libitzky Family Foundation
The Libitzky Family Foundation concentrates its giving on sustaining Jewish communal infrastructure and pro‑Israel political advocacy. The vast majority of funding is routed through a named fund at a local Jewish community federation, while the remainder supports national pro‑Israel political organizations across the partisan spectrum. The foundation favors large, focused grants to a small set of repeat recipients rather than broad, distributed giving.

About Libitzky Family Foundation
A $4,000,000 grant to the Jewish Community Federation in 2024 stands out in the Libitzky Family Foundation’s recent record, directed to the Libitzky Family Foundation Fund. That same federation account received another $750,000 in 2024 and $750,000 in 2023, showing a repeated commitment to a single Jewish communal channel rather than a broad roster of recipients. The foundation also routed $500,000 in 2024 to the federation’s Israel Emergency Fund 2023, linking its giving to crisis response in Israel. Beyond the federation relationship, the foundation backed several national pro-Israel advocacy groups with six-figure and five-figure grants. American Israel Public Affairs Committee received $125,000 in 2024, $125,000 in 2023, and $75,000 in 2024, while Democratic Majority for Israel received $50,000 in 2023 and two $50,000 grants in 2024. These patterns point to a funder that uses a small number of repeat grantees, large grants, and both communal and political channels to support Jewish and pro-Israel priorities.
What Libitzky Family Foundation Funds
Jewish communal infrastructure is a central theme. In 2024, the foundation gave $4,000,000 to the Jewish Community Federation for the Libitzky Family Foundation Fund, and it added $750,000 to that same fund in both 2023 and 2024. Israel emergency response appears in the grant to the federation’s Israel Emergency Fund 2023, which received $500,000 in 2024. Advocacy is another clear line of support: American Israel Public Affairs Committee received $125,000 in 2024, $125,000 in 2023, and $75,000 in 2024 for general support. Electoral and party-linked pro-Israel work also appears through grants of $50,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024 to Democratic Majority for Israel, plus a $50,000 grant in 2023 to Pro-Israel America United.
How Libitzky Family Foundation Gives
The foundation’s typical grant size is $50,000 at the 25th percentile, $125,000 at the median, and $625,000 at the 75th percentile, indicating a mix of mid-sized and much larger awards. Its recent record also shows repetition: the Jewish Community Federation, American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and Democratic Majority for Israel each received more than one grant across 2023 and 2024. The foundation operates through a family foundation structure under Moses Libitzky and does not fund individuals. It also makes impact investments through low-interest loans, though the recent grants show standard grantmaking rather than program-related financing.
