About Dorot
Our Mission
Through our grantmaking and fellowship program, the Dorot Foundation works toward a just and equitable society in which all individuals can reach their fullest potential. Grounded in a Jewish commitment to social justice, we also work to ensure that American Jews actively collaborate to address society’s most persistent and entrenched disparities.
Our Values
We are guided by our commitments to:
Jewish wisdom obligates us to pursue equity and justice and challenge the social and economic systems that limit the realization of justice and equity.
Increasing fairness and justice requires collective social action. No individual, organization, or movement can do this work alone.
We are committed to experimentation, innovation, and creativity.
We embrace a growth mindset. We appreciate that failure is a fundamental element of learning. We seek opportunities to grow in ways that increase our capacity, and that of others.
We commit to forthright communication, a willingness to acknowledge our shortcomings, and to share what we learn.
We aim to be trusted partners in helping others to carry out their mission.
We are committed to listening to and learning from others – especially those disproportionately harmed by the systemic inequities we seek to address.
