The Barzilai Foundation was founded to support individuals whose futures are at risk because of barriers beyond their control. Working closely with community partners we create bespoke programs that meet people at their point of need and create solutions that allow them to continue moving forward and build a better future.
Through collaboration with established support organizations, we extend the reach of existing structures, create new solutions to fill gaps and amplify impacts that will be long lasting for individuals, families and communities. We aim to help individuals realize better futures by creating opportunities for them to achieve and providing support to protect those in vulnerable situations who are at risk of losing their path forward.
As the Barzilai Foundation has grown, the scale of our involvement has grown, too. In addition to direct support, we invest in transformative efforts that build lasting capacity in the communities and partners we serve. These initiatives keep creating positive change long after our immediate support ends.
Our partners are central to that impact. They extend our reach into communities and bring specialist knowledge, local trust, and practical delivery to our shared work. These partnerships make our programs more relevant, more responsive, and more enduring.
We measure our impact in challenges overcome, opportunities realized, and futures forever changed for both our beneficiaries and those they go on to impact. In a given year, this combination of effective partnership and increased capacity helps us improve the lives of tens of thousands of people striving for something better. That is more than volume; it reflects deeper change that strengthens systems, opens pathways, and helps people move forward into brighter futures.
The same opportunity can look different through the eyes of someone facing barriers. The Barzilai Foundation seeks to remove those barriers, allowing individuals to take control of their life and develop their own future.
Our programs have reached individuals and families who are rebuilding their lives, high potential students overcoming adversity, and low-income households trying to provide a pathway to success for their children.
Our impacts have included families achieving financial independence and leaving welfare support, homeless individuals obtaining employment and a place to live, and high potential students being able to pursue further education and a better future.
The opportunities we create are primarily through our work in Access to Education and Vocational Training. Learn more about our work supporting individuals, families and communities.
