Anthony & Jeanne Pritzker Family Foundation

Who We Are

For over two decades, Anthony Pritzker Family Foundation has been dedicated to strengthening the vital institutions that define Los Angeles. Through our family foundation, we aim to enrich our community not just for the present, but for generations to come, with a particular focus on improving the quality of and access to health care and higher education and ensuring environmental sustainability. Significant funding has also been directed to programs and public-private partnerships which strengthen families and improve outcomes for opportunity youth. Importantly, in response to the alarming rise in antisemitism, we are targeting funds to combat this growing threat both within our communities and online.
