- Donor Stories
Since 2013, the Parasol Foundation has partnered with JFCS, making substantial investments in our YouthFirst and Seniors At Home programs to help teens realize their potential and low-income elderly to receive the comprehensive services they need to live as safely and independently as possible.
The Parasol Foundation was founded by online gaming entrepreneur Ruth Parasol, originally of Mill Valley and the eldest daughter of Richard Parasol z”l, a Holocaust survivor and real estate developer. The Parasol family believes deeply in the value of tikkun olam (repairing the world).
“Our time, success and fortune are borrowed,” says Ruth, “You can never give or appreciate enough, but every effort helps. At The Parasol Foundation, we enable change by supporting talented individuals and core centers of health and education, in order to create a better future for the next generation.”
JFCS is honored to partner with The Parasol Foundation to advance our shared goals of caring for our community’s elders and investing in the next generation.
