Established by Newton Becker (1928 – 2012) in 2006, the California-based charitable trust supports more than 100 grantees annually – and builds on our founder’s legacy of entrepreneurial and high-impact philanthropy.

Our giving is focused in five priority areas: 

• Research and Education to Advance Middle East Peace and Security
