The NATE & ANN LEVINE FAMILY FOUNDATION primarily supports Jewish communal life in Dallas, backing donor-advised fund infrastructure, synagogues, federations, and Jewish day schools, while making occasional gifts to progressive civic causes. Their largest activity was a major transfer to the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation, and smaller awards include annual campaign support and synagogue and school funding, with one notable grant to reproductive health services.
A $3,671,710 transfer to the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation defines the Nate & Ann Levine Family Foundation’s recent activity. That grant was labeled to close a supporting foundation into a donor advised fund, pointing to a strong role in Jewish philanthropic infrastructure as well as direct grantmaking. The foundation also backed the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas with $100,000 for its annual campaign, showing continued support for local Jewish communal fundraising. Other recent awards include general support for Temple Emanu-el and Akibayavneh Academy, which places synagogue operations and Jewish day school education within its portfolio. Alongside those communal commitments, the foundation made a $250,000 general-support grant to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, indicating that its giving also reaches a small set of civic and health-related organizations in Dallas. Across the recent record, its grants are concentrated in the city’s Jewish institutions and selected local nonprofits, with the largest dollars flowing through organizational and donor-advised fund support rather than project-specific awards.
Jewish communal infrastructure is central to the Nate & Ann Levine Family Foundation’s giving. The largest recent grant went to the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation for a supporting-foundation-to-donor-advised-fund transition, and another award supported the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas annual campaign. Educational and congregational institutions also appear in the record: Akibayavneh Academy received general support, and Temple Emanu-el received general support as well. The foundation’s portfolio is not limited to Jewish organizations, however. It also made a substantial general-support grant to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, showing that its local giving includes reproductive health and rights work in Dallas. These grants point to a pattern of support for operating needs, campaign fundraising, and institutional stability.
Recent grants cluster around a few large awards, with a typical size of $50,000 at the 25th percentile, $100,000 at the median, and $250,000 at the 75th percentile. The range is wider because of one much larger transfer tied to a donor-advised fund transition. The foundation’s recent record shows repeat support for Dallas-based organizations across multiple years, including gifts in 2024 and 2025. Its structure is family-based, with Jerry Blair listed in leadership. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Grants appear to be made without an application process described in the available data.
