The Zalik Foundation
About the Foundation
Informed by Jewish values and education, the Zalik Foundation principals Helen and David Zalik envision a world where people enjoy meaningful, joyous, purpose-driven lives and positively impact their families, communities, and the world. Founded in 2018, the Foundation cultivates a thriving Jewish community in Atlanta and beyond by strengthening Jewish education, ensuring a flourishing Israel, and supporting Jews in need.
Philanthropic Priorities
Strengthen Jewish Education
We aim to ensure Jewish education in Atlanta is high-quality, meaningful, and relevant. Our efforts support excellence and affordability at day schools, exceptional educators, and programs that frame Jewish values and wisdom to enrich one’s life.
Ensure a Flourishing 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.
Support Jews in Need
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.
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.
