Rachel Simon, currently residing in Indianapolis with her family, is at the helm of the Herbert Simon Family Foundation. This Indianapolis-based foundation has a broad impact, extending regionally and globally, with a focus on the environment, education, arts, and culture, as well as social justice and sustainability. Drawing from her rich tapestry of geographic and cultural experiences, Simon is steering the foundation into a new era marked by pressing challenges, particularly in the realms of climate change, sustainability, and social justice. Under her leadership, the foundation recently concluded a strategic planning session, ensuring that while its core philosophy remains unchanged, there will be a sharpened focus on certain pivotal areas. She is a force to be reckoned with and with her work she makes us all proud to be Jewish.
