One goal of Schusterman's philanthropy is to “spread the joy of Jewish living, giving and learning.” She is known for her work in strengthening Jewish identity, supporting young Jewish innovators, expanding opportunities for Service learning and promoting inclusivity, especially within the Jewish LGBT community. Among the national Jewish organizations she supports are BBYO, Hillel, Moishe House, Birthright Israel, Repair the World and Keshet. In 1994, Schusterman helped to found a branch of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life in the Former Soviet Union in order to “reconnect thousands of Jews, once denied access to their heritage, with Judaism and the Jewish people.” Since 1998, she has authorized more than $6 million to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Israel, including a major grant to help with the renovation of the museum campus.
