 The foundation supports pro-Israel groups like [[Birthright Israel Foundation]] and [[Jewish Agency for Israel]]. Other donations include $1.1 million to [[American Enterprise Institute]] (2009) and $3.6 million to [[Foundation for Defense of Democracies]] (2013).
 Singer co-founded Start-Up Nation Central in 2012 to promote Israeli technology and is the largest Jewish funder of [[Covenant Journey]], facilitating Christian student trips to Israel.
 Controversies include funding groups like the [[Philos Project]], linked to anti-LGBT figures, contrasting Singer's LGBT advocacy. Some critics argue his pro-Israel grants promote "pinkwashing" or hardline policies.
 Singer also founded the [[Paul and Emily Singer Family Foundation]] in 2008, a smaller entity focusing on arts, education, environment, humanitarian issues, and animal concerns.
 ==Israel==
 Singer is a staunch supporter of Israel, visiting as part of U.S. delegations and funding pro-Israel initiatives. He co-authored ''Start-Up Nation'' through associates and views Palestinian solidarity as anti-Semitic.
