Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are donating $1.3 million to 11 Jewish organizations, eJewish Philanthropy reported, citing a spokesperson for the couple.
The funding comes from the Chan-Zuckerberg family office, not the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI).
The recipients include three schools: Contra Costa Jewish Day School in Lafayette, Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School in Palo Alto and the Jewish Community High School of the Bay. Three California summer camps—URJ Camp Newman, Camp Ramah in California and Camp Tawonga—will also receive funds.
The couple’s primary home is in Palo Alto.
“Mark and Priscilla are proud to support the important work each of these organizations does in building communities, education, celebrating traditions and faith, and giving people a voice, especially in fighting anti-Semitism,” said the spokesperson.
