About One8 Foundation
One8 Foundation’s largest recent grant went to Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston Inc for $6,750,000, a signal that major institutional support is central to how the foundation funds Jewish community infrastructure. Across the recent-grants list, the same pattern appears in several places: large multiyear commitments to community and network organizations, alongside support for initiatives that connect young Jewish adults and families to Jewish life and Israel. The foundation also backs Jewish federation and campus-life organizations, including The Jewish Federations of North America Inc, Hillel the Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, and Jewish Funders Network, which points to an emphasis on communal systems rather than isolated one-off projects. The grant record also shows a parallel education portfolio. One8 Foundation has given substantial support to Year Up Inc, Thread Inc, Boston College Trustees, Mind Research Institute Inc, and Buck Institute for Education. Those grants align with its applied-learning and postsecondary-alternatives programs, suggesting a focus on helping learners move from school into careers through practical, work-connected models. The overall picture is of a foundation that uses large institutional grants to support Jewish continuity, Israel engagement, and education pathways.
What One8 Foundation Funds
Jewish community-building is a core part of One8 Foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $6,750,000 to Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston Inc for community support, and it has also funded Hillel the Foundation for Jewish Campus Life for Jewish campus engagement. In the same area, The Jewish Federations of North America Inc received grants in both 2024 and 2025, showing sustained support for federation infrastructure. Israel engagement is another recurring theme. One8 gave $3,500,000 to Honeymoon Israel Foundation Inc and also supported American Israel Education Foundation Inc with $3,000,000 in 2025 and $2,000,000 in 2024. Those gifts sit alongside grants tied to Jewish community, Israel, and antisemitism work, indicating that the foundation funds both relationship-building and broader civic and educational efforts. In education, One8 has backed Year Up Inc, Thread Inc, Boston College Trustees, Mind Research Institute Inc, and Buck Institute for Education, reflecting its interest in applied learning, career-connected education, and school-to-work pathways.
