Adam received his B.Sc. from the Technion, the Israeli Institute of Technology, his MBA at USC, and became a successful real estate investor. Together, him and his wife created the Milstein Family Foundation (MFF)

MFF is “dedicated to safeguarding Israel and America’s shared values — freedom, human rights, and democracy — and strive to work to eradicate the common enemies who threaten these values.”
The foundation’s mission is to connect and empower coalitions with like-minded organizations that combat antisemitism and the common enemies of America and the Jewish people.
The three core principles of the foundation are: active giving, strategic force multiplication, and philanthropic synergy.
— Active giving : Devoting time and resources to like-minded organizations
— Strategic force multiplication: Encouraging partnerships between donors and organizations
— Philanthropic synergy: Facilitating and maintaining collaborations between organizations with similar missions
“We don’t only give money to dozens of organizations who do good work in their fields,” says Milstein, “but we also invest time, experience, vision, and personal connections to support them and launch new initiatives to fill the existing gaps.”
