Ted Arison Family Foundation
Summary
The Ted Arison Family Foundation's worldview is rooted in three Jewish values: charity, acts of loving kindness and TIKKUN OLAM (transformation of the world). The Ted Arison Family Foundation was established out of the Arison family's inner edict of giving back to society, and commitment to improving the human surroundings. The foundation provides funding for projects in the following categories:
- Education
- Children and Youth
- Population in Distress
- Disabilities
- Health
Within the framework of its philanthropic activities, which includes infrastructure development and improvement grants, and out of its commitment to listening to the needs of the community in Israel and giving with attentiveness to these needs, several large-scale projects were initiated by the Arison family. These include the advanced Ted Arison Medical Tower, state-of the-art Lin and Ted Arison Conservatory, the Arison School of Business at IDC, THE memorial site at Latrun, and many more.
History of Funding
In 2016, the foundation distributed $21,870,679 for grants. Previous awardees can be seen at https://www.arisonfoundation.com/en/content/grants.
