At the David & Laura Merage Foundation, our philanthropic investments are focused on social change and result in children, families, and communities improving the quality and circumstances of their lives. The Merage legacy demonstrates a strong commitment to their communities, their Jewish heritage, and their family. The family has a deep belief in giving back and sharing their strength, knowledge, and resources to improve the lives of others.
The David and Laura Merage Foundation and the Andre and Katherine Merage Foundation were established in 2002, with a focus on venture philanthropy. As we have launched the third generation of Merage foundations with the formation of the Jonathan Merage Foundation and the Sabrina Merage Foundation we see this spirit driving their organizations’ mission and values.
As venture philanthropists, David and Laura leveraged their Foundation’s resources to launch RedLine, Early Learning Ventures, Equitas Project, and Black Cube. In conjunction with Katherine Merage, they likewise initiated Merage Foundation Israel, which has been actively working to increase the prosperity of Israel for over 20 years.
