The Schusterman Foundation – Israel (SFI) was created by the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation (CLSFF) in January 2006, in order to achieve greater impact for the Schusterman family's philanthropy in Israel. For twelve years prior to the establishment of SFI, CLSFF directed philanthropic activities in Israel from its base in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The primary mission of the Schusterman Foundation – Israel (SFI) is to help strengthen the fabric of Israeli society by providing funding, technical assistance and leadership for new and existing philanthropic initiatives. As the philanthropic arm in Israel of the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, SFI strives to bring the same commitment to excellence and basic Jewish values that have been the hallmark of the Schusterman family's philanthropy for the past twenty years. 

By engaging organizations and government policy-makers in Israel that share our ideals, SFI seeks to make a lasting impact upon Israeli society in key ways:

• transforming the treatment and prevention of child abuse
• facilitating a sincere exploration of Jewish identity and global Jewish peoplehood for secular Israelis through tikkun olam (repairing the world) and
• answering the biblical imperative to build Jerusalem, leading its renewal as a modern, open and eternal capital of the Jewish people
