The Nathan Cummings Foundation

Committed to democratic values and social justice.

Overview

Rooted in the Jewish tradition of social justice the Nathan Cummings Foundation is committed to creating a more just vibrant sustainable and democratic society. We focus on finding solutions to the two most challenging problems of our time the climate crisis and growing inequality and aim to transform the systems and mindsets that hinder progress toward a more sustainable and equitable future for all people particularly women and people of color. While our work is primarily concentrated in the United States we support efforts addressing inequality in Israel and are looking globally to where we can make a difference. We have a long track record of aligning our investments with our values through shareholder activism and are exploring how we expand the tools we use to dedicate more of our investment dollars for greater impact.
