Our Philanthropies

About Us

Merage Philanthropies is a collective of private family foundations, each founded and led by a different member of David and Laura Merage’s family. While each foundation has its own mission and areas of focus, all are guided by a shared commitment to philanthropy, innovation, and community investment. Together, we support initiatives that create opportunity, strengthen communities, and improve lives.
