The Kraft Group
The philanthropy from the Kraft family and their foundations has been felt by communities around the world through initiatives that create economic and social mobility, build bridges between communities, and address societal issues impacting historically marginalized communities.
Robert Kraft and his family have consistently donated financial resources, time, relationships and expertise to a wide range of nonprofits and causes, resulting in lifetime commitments of almost $1 billion. While philanthropic efforts have been a family pillar for more than 50 years, the Kraft family has sharpened their focus on creating necessary change to ensure all people have access to equal opportunities. These efforts have included championing economic and social mobility, addressing racial equality, creating access to healthcare, and combatting antisemitism.
Over the past ten years, the Kraft Family Philanthropies has provided nearly $20 million in catalyst opportunities, supporting hundreds of small to mid-size nonprofit organizations focused on educational opportunity, quality healthcare access, workplace development, anti-violence efforts, and more. Catalyst gifts partners have included Institute for Nonprofit Practice, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Franklin Cummings Tech, Friends of the Children – Boston, HopeWell, Foster Forward, Crossroads – MA, Sociedad Latina, FamilyAid Boston, New Commonwealth Racial Equity & Social Justice Fund, among others.
In addition, the Kraft family has established more than three dozen permanent endowments at educational, health care and social services organizations and also provides educational support for universities and high schools as a way to create economic and social mobility for students.
Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (FCAS)
FCAS was founded in 2019 by Robert Kraft to stand up to Jewish hate and all hate. We uniquely reach unengaged non-Jewish Americans, moving them to become allies through empathy-building national mass media and social advertising. We partner and convene diverse leaders and groups to create awareness and understanding, and our Command Center monitors the digital landscape 24/7 to understand where and how hate is spreading and completes national research on this topic.
