The Kislak name has long represented a commitment to community service and philanthropy. Today, The Kislak Family Foundation, Inc., continues this tradition and carries on the vision of Jay I. Kislak.
The Kislak Family Foundation is a private philanthropic foundation based in Miami Lakes, Florida. The mission of the foundation is supporting leadership and innovation in the fields of education, arts and humanities, animal welfare and environmental preservation. The foundation provides grant funding to select nonprofit organizations and institutions of higher learning.
The Kislak Family Foundation also builds on the work of the Jay I. Kislak Foundation, which from 1984 to 2020 focused on conserving rare books, art and historic documents, and advancing knowledge of past cultures, civilizations and explorations. The collections are now on public display at the Library of Congress and Kislak Centers in Miami and Philadelphia.
We take pride in the achievements made possible by the Kislak family. Their partner institutions are strong, innovative and dedicated to programs that advance learning and benefit society.
