The mission of the Tikkun Olam Foundation, Inc. is to improve health, justice, and equity for all individuals. We do this primarily by funding programs focusing on women’s health, gender justice, and reproductive rights. We use a multi-faceted approach to achieve our mission, including supporting direct service, advocacy, and the arts.
Tikun Olam Foundation’s recent grantmaking is marked by large general-support awards to organizations working in women’s health, gender justice, and reproductive rights, alongside direct service, advocacy, and arts funding. The foundation’s mission is framed around improving health, justice, and equity, and its giving reflects that across a mix of family services, children’s health, media, and academic institutions. Among the largest recent awards is $1,334,333 to Zero To Three National Center for Infants, followed by $1,080,000 to Jewish Family Svc LA and $1,000,000 grants to Venice Family Clinic and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Those grants show a pattern of substantial operating support rather than tightly restricted project funding. The foundation also backs community-serving organizations such as Children's Bureau of S CA and Westside Infant-Family Network, indicating interest in services for families and children within a broader equity agenda. General support is the dominant grant form in the recent record, and the portfolio includes both recurring recipients and new names across multiple years. That mix suggests a funder that maintains ongoing relationships while still making room for other institutions aligned with its stated priorities.
Women’s health, gender justice, and reproductive rights sit at the center of Tikun Olam Foundation’s stated focus. In practice, that mission is paired with support for direct service, advocacy, and the arts. For family and child health, the foundation gave $125,000 to University of California San Francisco Foundation for general support, and $135,000 to Westside Infant-Family Network for general support. In community services, it awarded $225,000 to All For Kids Organization for general support, extending its support for organizations serving children and families. The foundation also funds institutions that connect health and public information. Southern California Public Radio received $120,000 for general support, while Los Angeles Education Partnership received $100,000 for general support. Taken together, the grants show a portfolio that reaches beyond a single service channel and supports both direct-service providers and civic organizations tied to the foundation’s equity goals.
