Philanthropic Priorities
Jewish Education & Values
We aim to make Jewish values relevant and accessible, exposing Jewish people to a joyful and purpose-driven Judaism that empowers them to lead meaningful lives. We support initiatives and organizations that grow and strengthen individuals’ Jewish identity through Jewish education. We aim to enhance Jewish life and community in Atlanta, GA.
Ensuring a Sovereign & Thriving Israel
Our work seeks to foster a deep appreciation among American Jews for the miracle of modern Israel as a sovereign, Jewish, and democratic state. These efforts support Israel’s ongoing vitality and resilience, ensuring it remains a beacon of hope and strength for Jews worldwide.
Helping Children & Older Adults
We empower children, seniors, and families to overcome obstacles and achieve their greatest potential. We work to ensure older adults can thrive and live with dignity. Our work is dedicated to providing these populations the support they need to lead fulfilling lives.
Women & Girls Empowerment
We empower women and girls to be confident, independent, and self-sufficient, enabling them to take on greater leadership roles. We also support the growth of women in STEM fields (science, math, and engineering) and address their unique needs in these focus areas.
Our Grant Making Approach
The Zalik Foundation is proactively identifying projects and funding initiatives that align with our mission. We do not accept unsolicited proposals. Our grants are awarded through strategic partnerships and internally driven programs focused on key priority areas.
