- Lina Kahn's Gift - Lina Kahn was the sole survivor of a family with well established ties to Temple Israel. In 1987, while living in California, she contacted Temple Israel and informed the congregation of her intention to leave her estate to the Temple. There was only one condition placed on the proposed request. The proceeds of the gift were to be used exclusively to provide for "the aid, assistance, and relief of the elderly…". Lina passed away in November, 1989.
- The Nathan Kahn-Ernestine Kahn-Charles Kahn Foundation - established by Lina Kahn's gift in 1990, is the result of that selfless act of generosity. It was made an endowed fund of Congregation Temple Israel. The Kahn Foundation makes grants to organizations which primarily serve the elderly in the St. Louis metropolitan area. In addition, grants may be awarded for community and Temple Israel programs.
- Eligibility Criteria for a Kahn Grant - The Kahn Foundation will fund programs which speak to the goals of the Foundation and its stated purpose. Funds will be granted for a one-year period and may be considered for renewal. Grants will generally be made in the range of $1,000-$20,000. Grants will not be made to: individuals, political causes and candidates, for-profit entities, regular operating costs, fund raising dinners or other benefits or courtesy advertising. All correspondence should be clearly marked to the attention of the Kahn Foundation and sent to:
