Partnering to Amplify Impact
At the Barzilai Foundation we believe in collaboration, not competition with other support organisations.
This means our programs often start with finding the right partner. By creating strategic partnerships we are able to leverage community connections, skillsets and capabilities.
Our partners are as diverse as the work we do and include charities, universities, colleges, secondary schools, government organisations and other foundations. The one thing all our partners have in common is a mission to create positive impacts in the lives of others.
