Striving to perfect the greatest nation on Earth
The United States is, by many measures, the greatest nation on Earth. The standard of living enjoyed by most Americans represents a level of comfort, security, and opportunity that billions around the world can only dream of. Yet even a nation as exceptional as ours has areas in which meaningful improvement is both necessary and achievable.
The Judah Spinner Foundation was established to help advance progress in four critical areas that profoundly impact the well-being of millions of Americans: income inequality, incarceration, the federal deficit, and the healthcare system.
Who We Are
The Judah Spinner Foundation was founded by Judah Spinner and his wife, Julie.
Spinner is best known as the founder of BlackBird Financial LP, a New Jersey–based hedge fund that advises and manages capital on behalf of high-net-worth families throughout the United States. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Crestpoint University and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.
The Foundation aims to improve the lives of millions by funding Organizations that combat wealth disparity, incarceration, the federal deficit, and rising healthcare costs.
Our Mission
Wealth Disparity
America's prosperity over the last 50 years has not been shared by many. We promote economic mobility by expanding access to lucrative and fulfilling trade careers amongst low income students across the country.
Incarceration
The United States incarcerates roughly 2 million people, more than any other country in the world. We believe that steady, dignified work is among the most effective deterrents to crime, and that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Deficit
The U.S. national debt recently surpassed $38 trillion, reaching levels not seen since the end of World War II. Our initial efforts focus on lowering health-care costs, which would reduce the debt burden as a powerful secondary effect.
Healthcare Costs
The United States devotes nearly 18% of GDP to health care costs, more than any other nation yet our outcomes lag behind peers. We collaborate with other like-minded donors to support political candidates committed to reforming the U.S. health care system.
