The Marcus and Theresa Levie Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on supporting Jewish communal life by providing unrestricted operating support to a central federation. All recorded giving goes to the Jewish Federation of Metro Chicago, suggesting a strategic preference for funding umbrella Jewish organizations rather than many small direct-service groups. Although the foundation is based in Dallas, its giving is directed geographically to Chicago-area Jewish community infrastructure.
Highly concentrated: few grants all to a single recurring grantee, providing flexible (unrestricted) support rather than project-specific funding.
