SANDLER FOUNDATION

The official website of the Sandler Foundation, a charitable foundation formed in 1991 by Herb and Marion Sandler... We have high standards for what we fund and conduct extensive due diligence to evaluate leaders and organizations. We are not motivated to fund solely by an organization's mission; rather, a compelling mission needs to be combined with great leadership and the ability to execute and affect change. We provide long-term support to outstanding organizations that combine these attributes... We have a high tolerance for risk and look for opportunities for leverage. We have launched new organizations to fill the gaps when we could find outstanding leadership. We often issue challenge grants to encourage other donors to support organizations.
