Lappin Foundation

The Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation is a Jewish non-profit organization that operates programs for Jewish youth. The Foundation's largest program is the "Youth to Israel" program, which offers Jewish youth a free trip to Israel. Over 1,800 Jewish teenagers have been supported by the foundation in their visit to Israel.[1] The program started in 1971.[2]

It also supports enrichment programs for Jewish educators, and interfaith outreach initiatives.[3][4] In 2007, the foundation gave about $1.5 million to Jewish groups.[1]
