About the Foundation
The Beyahad Foundation works to promote equal opportunity and social mobility for diverse populations by investing in the development and strengthening of regional infrastructures and growth engines — at the intersection of education, technology, and employment — to foster inclusive growth, with a special focus on the Galilee.
In parallel, the foundation invests in civic education for democracy, to strengthen Israel as a Jewish and democratic state guided by the spirit of its Declaration of Independence.
Founded in 2015 by Stella and Yoel Carasso and their three children, under the leadership of Atar Razi Oren, the foundation has since welcomed additional family members to its work.
The foundation was the leading philanthropic partner in the establishment of the Agrifoodtech Valley Management in the Galilee, driven by the belief that strengthening cross-sector collaboration within the northern cluster — uniting key stakeholders around shared goals — has a direct and immediate impact on the region’s social and economic resilience.
