About Us
The Overbrook Foundation was established in 1948 by Frank and Helen Altschul as a way for them to support important causes across New York City, the United States, and the world. Now, 75 years later, we honor their legacy by supporting partner organizations focused on advancing human rights and conserving the natural environment.
