The Taube Foundation For Jewish Life & Culture and the Koret Foundation Funds awarded $20 million in grants to establish the Taube-Koret Campus for Jewish Life. The combined gifts comprise the largest gift to the Campus campaign and are the single largest grants each of the two foundations has awarded in their histories to a Jewish community project.
The Campus for Jewish Life is one of the largest projects ever attempted by the Bay Area's organized Jewish community. Currently in development, in Palo Alto, the Taube-Koret Campus will feature three premier Bay Area Jewish institutions: the Jewish Community Center, the Jewish Home of San Francisco and the Jewish Community Federation. Scheduled to open in 2008, this multi-facility project will serve the South Peninsula, which has one of the fastest-growing Jewish populations in the Bay Area.
