The Nathan Cummings Foundation

Grant funding and program-related investments support social change organizations working on racial, economic, and environmental justice. The Nathan Cummings Foundation is a multigenerational family foundation rooted in the Jewish tradition of social justice. Its focus areas include combating antisemitism and advancing racial, economic, and environmental justice in the U.S. and Israel-Palestine. Place-based initiatives include work in Israel-Palestine and the U.S. South, where the foundation has committed 40% of its assets to advancing justice solutions with public- and private-sector stakeholders. Its Totality of Assets approach also draws on its endowment, knowledge, relationships, and voice. This work includes technical assistance, cross-sector partnerships, strategic communications, and efforts to influence policy, capital, and culture.
