Funding in the U.S. | Schusterman Family Philanthropies Democracy and Voting Rights Gender and Reproductive Equity We work to address barriers in America that prevent individuals and communities from realizing their true potential. Advancing racial, gender and economic equity When resources and opportunities are truly equitable, individuals, communities and economies can flourish.

We see access to good jobs, a quality education, economic and reproductive freedom, government representation, and as well as ending mass incarceration, as key to achieving a more equal and just society. To address these barriers, we invest in several portfolios through which we aim to advance racial, gender and economic equity in the United States.

These portfolios include Criminal Justice, Democracy and Voting Rights, Education, Gender and Reproductive Equity, and the Schusterman family’s hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Quote from Stacy Schusterman We need to examine all the ways systems in this country have been built to protect power and privilege for some at the expense of others.

And we have a responsibility to listen to people’s stories, to learn their histories and to see their experiences and perspectives in a way that challenges our own understanding of the world.

How we create pathways to justice and safety Democracy and Voting Rights We believe full participation in a representative democracy is key to a more equitable and inclusive society.

How we support the Jewish experience Now is the Time to Invest in Women and Girls Research spanning decades and countries proves that businesses are more profitable, governments are more effective and communities are healthier when women have a seat at the table and our rights and voices are respected equally.
