About Lubetzky Family Foundation
Lubetzky Family Foundation’s giving is organized around empathy education, critical thinking, democracy and civic engagement, conflict resolution, and Jewish community strengthening, with general operating support appearing as a recurring pattern in recent grants. Among the largest grants on file, the foundation gave $60,000 to American Friends of Libi Inc and $50,000 to Builders Network Inc in 2025, both as general support. Those awards sit alongside a broader portfolio that includes humanitarian and emergency relief, trauma response and mental health, and social entrepreneurship. The foundation’s program structure shows both direct grantmaking and operated initiatives. It lists Builders as a partner program focused on flexible thinking and constructive problem solving, and it also operates the KIND Foundation’s Hardship Relief Program, which provides financial and in-kind support for hardship relief. Recent grants also show support for Jewish-serving organizations such as Columbia Barnard Hillel Inc, Pef Israel Endowment Funds Inc, and Masorti Foundation, as well as civic-oriented groups including Common Ground Committee Inc and Policy Impact. That mix suggests a funder that combines values-based philanthropy with practical support for organizations working on community resilience, dialogue, and relief.

How Lubetzky Family Foundation Gives
Typical grants are small: the p25 is $1,015, the median is $1,854, and the p75 is $5,000. The recent list also shows a few larger general-support awards, with amounts dropping quickly into the low-thousands and hundreds. The foundation appears to make recurring grants: several recipients appear in multiple years across the recent record, including New York-based and Austin-based organizations, which points to an ongoing portfolio rather than one-off awards. Its philosophy tags emphasize general operating support, unrestricted support, and core or organizational support. The grant records do not indicate an unsolicited application process; active programs describe invitation-only or partner-based grantmaking.
