Our Mission
The Jeffrey P. Ossen Family Foundation is a Connecticut based philanthropic foundation that strives to impact change by partnering with organizations who inspire, advocate and enhance the well-being of all people for a more equitable, just and healthy society.
Our Values
The Foundation's core values are rooted in the principle of TIKKUN OLAM, 'Repair of the World' and guide all of our philanthropic activities.
“We bear responsibility not only for our own welfare, but also for the welfare of society at large; therefore, we are called upon to make the world more just, peaceful, tolerant and equal through acts of charity, kindness, and political action.”
― Jewish Funders Network
Our Approach
We identify potential grant partners through thorough research and active engagement in the communities that we fund. Through further assessment and fostering relationships we extend invitations to a select group of organizations to apply for grants. However, there may be organizations or opportunities that we are not aware of, and we are always open to learning more about them.
APPLY FOR A GRANT
Grant applications are accepted by invitation only.
