The Kraft Family Foundation gives in a highly relationship-driven way, concentrating a large share of its support on a small set of major institutions rather than spreading funds broadly. Its portfolio strongly reflects the Kraft family’s priorities in Jewish life and Israel-related causes, anti-hate/interfaith work, health and medical research, and Boston-area education and opportunity initiatives. It also shows a visible affinity for arts and civic institutions, especially those with cultural prominence or broad community reach.
Concentrated giving with a few very large anchor grants, especially to repeat grantees; many awards are multi-grant relationships rather than one-off gifts, suggesting long-term support for core institutions and initiatives.
Notable grantees: Massachusetts General Hospital, Combined Jewish Philanthropies, Elton John AIDS Foundation, Columbia/Barnard Hillel, Friends of United Hatzalah
