History and Mission
Visionary members of Temple Israel established the Temple Israel of Long Beach Foundation in 1977 to acquire, manage, and expend funds for charitable purposes, with its sole beneficiary being Temple Israel for the benefit of its members. The Foundation manages and maintains the Temple’s “nest egg,” which generates annual investment earnings that support ongoing and future programming. Donors may designate funds for specific purposes, such as supporting the religious school, youth scholarships, or building improvements, or provide a non-directed donation that allows the Foundation to support Temple activities and operations on an annual basis.
