Who We Are Founded in 2002 by a group of young professionals in New York City, the Natan Fund inspires people to become deeply engaged in Jewish giving by funding innovative projects that are shaping the Jewish future. Natan is a giving circle: members pool their funds and support new and undiscovered ideas, primarily through a multi-stage grant review process.
