Giving With Purpose
The Schlaifer Family Foundation supports organizations and initiatives that have the potential to create meaningful, lasting change in the lives of individuals, families, and communities.
Our areas of interest reflect the values that are important to our family and the belief that giving can create opportunities, strengthen communities, and improve quality of life.
While our focus areas are diverse, they are connected by a common goal: to support people, create opportunity, and make a lasting difference.
Areas of Interest
We believe education has the power to open doors and change the trajectory of a person's life.
We support organizations that expand access to educational opportunities, help students reach their potential, and provide the resources and support needed to succeed.
Our interest in education may include initiatives that support students, educators, scholarships, educational access, and programs that help individuals build the skills and confidence to pursue their goals.
Education
Mental health affects individuals, families, and entire communities. We believe everyone should have access to compassionate support and quality behavioral healthcare when they need it.
We support organizations working to expand access to mental health services, reduce barriers to care, and create environments where individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered to heal.
We are particularly interested in efforts that address underserved populations and provide meaningful support during challenging periods of life.
Mental Health
Strong communities begin with people supporting one another.
We support organizations that strengthen families, create opportunities, and help individuals and communities thrive. This may include programs focused on family support, community development, basic needs, social services, and initiatives that bring people together.
We believe that meaningful change often begins at the community level — by helping people feel supported, connected, and empowered.
Family & Community
Our commitment to making a difference extends beyond people.
We believe animals deserve compassionate care, protection, and the opportunity to live healthy and safe lives. We support organizations working to improve animal welfare, provide care for animals in need, and create better outcomes for animals and the people who care for them.
Because compassion extends to every life we have the opportunity to impact.

Our Approach To Giving
We believe thoughtful philanthropy starts with understanding the work being done and the people it serves.
The Foundation seeks to support organizations whose missions align with our values and whose work has the potential to create meaningful impact. We value organizations that approach their work with compassion, accountability, and a long-term perspective.
Our areas of interest provide a framework for our giving, but every organization and opportunity is considered individually.
Creating A Lasting Impact
The Schlaifer Family Foundation is committed to making thoughtful investments in the causes that matter to our family and the communities we hope to serve.
We look forward to building relationships with organizations that share our belief that giving can do more than address today's needs — it can help create a better tomorrow.
