Louis and Manette Mayberg
Trustees Louis and Manette Mayberg created the Mayberg Foundation as a grant making family foundation with a high impact, entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy. Both Manette and Louis serve on a variety of boards and are deeply involved in many issues and initiatives impacting how future generations will sustain Jewish values, literacy, practice and belief. Their philanthropic passions include Jewish outreach and Jewish education. Manette and Louis married in 1989, and are the parents of two sons and two daughters. They live in Kemp Mill, Maryland and Bal Harbour, Florida.
Manette Mayberg
When asked about her passions, Manette Mayberg resoundingly answers, "Family and philanthropy." When asked about her career, she responds, "I invest in the Jewish people," since she traded a paycheck for more fulfilling work in their family foundation, eventually leading to a full-time commitment to Jewish philanthropy.
Now serving as the Trustee of the Mayberg Foundation, her passions include two operating programs of the Foundation that she originated: North America's Jewish Education Innovation Challenge (JEIC), founded in 2011, and global reaching MyZuzah, founded in 2017. In addition, Manette is a co-founder of Momentum (Momentum is a global movement focused on the most significant influencer -- the Jewish mother.) She chairs the Institutional Advancement Committee and is on the Executive Committee and Board of Directors. Manette conceived and developed the annual Shalva Celebrity Chef Dinner, which she and her husband, Louis, are dedicated to hosting annually.
Manette is a National Senior Vice President of the Orthodox Union. She also sits on the Berman Hebrew Academy Executive Committee in Rockville, Maryland. As a thought leader in the Jewish philanthropic sector, Manette has authored multiple opinion pieces on Israel and Jewish education, published in eJewish Philanthropy, Washington Jewish Week, and Aish.com. Manette and Louis are blessed to visit Israel often, home of three of four children and grandchildren.
