The Foundation provides grants to encourage creative local programming.
History
The first Chabad House was started on the UCLA campus in the 1960's. More recently the Foundation, with the assistance of visionary philanthropists George and Pamela Rohr of New York, has set an ambitious course of expansion. Indeed, since 2001 the Chabad campus presence has tripled.See also
