Seryl & Charles Kushner Family Foundation

Overview

The Seryl & Charles Kushner Family Foundation is a U.S. tax-exempt private foundation, identified in ProPublica's IRS return database under EIN 22-3422337 with exemption dating to 1997. The foundation is separate from Kushner Companies, its real-estate operations, and members of the family acting personally. ^[14]

Family participation and governance

Historical reporting from December 2016 described Jared Kushner and his siblings Dara, Nicole and Joshua as directors, alongside the foundation's association with their parents, Charles and Seryl. This is a source-dated account; it does not establish who held board positions in 2026. Formal grants should be attributed to the legal foundation, not automatically to an individual director. ^[15]

Grantmaking and public records

Reports reviewing older IRS returns documented donations to educational, religious, hospital and community causes, including groups operating in and around Israel and the West Bank. Associated Press reporting identified historical grants to the Etzion Foundation, Ohr Torah Stone and Friends of the Israel Defense Forces; the reported dates were primarily 2010–2014. Such filings document reported transactions, not the intentions of any particular family member in a later government role. ^{[15] [16]}

Annual Form 990-PF returns are the appropriate source for testing a specific year's officers, beneficiaries and amounts. The foundation's fiscal-year records must not be merged with Kushner Companies real-estate cash flows or Affinity Partners' investment vehicles. ^[14]
