Lappin Foundation

The Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation is a Jewish non-profit organization that operates programs for Jewish youth. The Foundation's largest program is the "Youth to Israel" program, which offers Jewish youth a free trip to Israel. Over 1,800 Jewish teenagers have been supported by the foundation in their visit to Israel. The program started in 1971.

It also supports enrichment programs for Jewish educators, and interfaith outreach initiatives. In 2007, the foundation gave about $1.5 million to Jewish groups.
