The Moriah Fund is a private foundation that was established
in 1985 to perpetuate the lifelong philanthropic commitment of
its founders, Robert and Clarence Efroymson. Their philosophy
of giving was rooted in fundamental Jewish values: a concern for
the disadvantaged and an emphasis on self-help; a commitment to
equity and justice; and a desire to improve the quality of life
for Jews and non-Jews alike.
Moriah seeks to promote human rights and
social justice, help disadvantaged people gain self-sufficiency
and control over their lives, foster sustainable development,
and promote women’s rights and reproductive health. |
