Stichting Levi Lassen funds nonprofit work that advances social and economic justice, with a strong emphasis on community-based support and identity-building in specific local or diaspora communities. Its giving is especially focused on The Hague, Jewish communities in the Netherlands, and targeted social inclusion efforts in Israel, including Ethiopian-Israeli youth and elderly Dutch immigrants. The foundation appears to favor practical, human-scale projects that strengthen social cohesion, cultural continuity, and pathways out of poverty or marginalization.

Giving Approach
Program-specific grants with separate tracks by geography and community; generally one-year grants, with some renewal possible after evaluation. In Israel, grants are typically up to €15,000 per year, and applications require a pre-application followed by a full application. In The Hague and Jewish Netherlands, applications should be submitted well ahead of project start and reviewed on a meeting cycle.
