The Leonard and Lois Schnitzer Charitable Supporting Foundation of OJCF aims to support local Jewish projects. It emphasizes Jewish social welfare, health, community development, and the promotion of Jewish education, culture, and arts. While prioritizing projects within these areas, it also considers innovative start-ups and initiatives that foster collaboration, avoid duplicating services, and serve a broad community segment, reflecting a commitment to both Jewish-specific and wider community benefits.
The grant provided by the Leonard and Lois Schnitzer Charitable Supporting Foundation promotes various causes with a strong focus on enhancing Jewish life and welfare. It supports projects aimed at Jewish social welfare, health, community building, education, culture, and arts. Grants are awarded to initiatives that either directly serve these areas or, as a secondary focus, support innovative, collaborative projects involving Jewish culture that benefit a wide range of community members. Last year, it allocated funds primarily to Jewish organizations, reflecting its commitment to fostering a thriving Jewish community through targeted financial support.
