Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation
The organisation's official biography of Schusterman, retrieved on 11 November 2026, states that she and her late husband, Charles, established their family foundation in 1987, and that she served as chair of the family's philanthropic work from 2000 until 2018, when she became chair emerita. The organisation's official history likewise records that Charles died in 2000, after which she became chair, and that in 2018 she stepped back as chair emerita. The same official biography states that in 2011 she signed the Giving Pledge.[1][2]
The biography records that she prioritised support for Jewish organisations serving youth and young adults, including BBYO, Hillel and Moishe House, that she helped to launch Repair the World, and that she is a leading philanthropist in the Birthright Israel programme. It also states that she established an office in Israel and three operating programmes, ROI Community, REALITY and the Schusterman Fellowship; that in 2010 she decided to fund only organisations with formal non-discrimination policies covering sexual orientation and gender identity; and that she helped to establish the Israel Institute and centres of Israel and Jewish studies at Brandeis University, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas at Austin, as well as the Haruv Institute in Israel and Haruv USA at the University of Oklahoma's Tulsa campus. It lists board positions including BBYO, Hillel, Repair the World, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the Foundation for Tulsa Schools and the Parent Child Center of Tulsa.[1]
