Mission Statement

The mission of The Adam and Gila Milstein Family Foundation (“MFF”) is to strengthen American values, support the U.S.-Israel alliance, and combat bigotry and hatred in all forms.​ MFF also works to strengthen the Jewish people and their affinity to the State of Israel – the homeland of the Jewish people, by instilling pride in their Jewish identity and fostering the courage to stand up and combat our detractors.​ We are dedicated to safeguarding Israel and America’s shared values—freedom, human rights, and democracy—and strive to work to eradicate the common enemies who threaten these values.​ MFF builds coalitions that provide Americans with facts and knowledge to advocate and take effective action against radical movements that spread hate, bigotry, and discrimination.​ We have an innovative philanthropic philosophy that is based on three unique principles: “Active Philanthropy,” “Strategic Force-Multiplication” and “Philanthropic Synergy.”
