The Vision

The centerpiece of Applebaum Family Philanthropy is the Applebaum Fellows Program, providing opportunities for young people to inspire entrepreneurship, independence and leadership.

Providing the first opportunity can change a person forever

Goals & Objectives

After decades of investing in individuals, Applebaum Family Philanthropy launched the formal fellows program in 2018 with a goal of creating a broader network of connected leaders following the principles of community building, mentorship and Tikkum Olam: the Jewish value of repairing the world.
