The Naomi Foundation Values

Honoring the legacy of Naomi Prawer Kadar, Ph.D., our hope is to significantly impact fields she held near to her heart. We look for new and innovative initiatives in education and teacher training in Israel, Yiddish language learning, and oncology research.

The foundation staff and Board of Directors keep in mind Naomi’s multi-faceted interests and expansive world-view when considering partnerships. Our partners train the next generation of teachers, inspire youth and learners, expand the academic study of Yiddish language and culture, build community, and make advancements in medical research. Simultaneously targeting those with the most capacity to have deepest impact and looking for new, exciting programs, the Naomi Foundation partners with organizations that have the commitment and leadership to create life-changing programs and bring our vision to fruition.

The Grant Process

The Naomi Foundation grant process happens over time as relationships are established and ideas discussed. Typically, we engage in several detail-oriented conversations with organizations about possibilities for partnership before inviting select individuals or 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to apply for grants.

Each complete application is reviewed thoroughly. Based on this review, the Naomi Foundation Board of Directors may extend an offer for organizational partnership. The process culminates with a written funding agreement.

Please check our website periodically for specific application opportunities and deadlines.
