History
In 1987, Charles Schusterman and Lynn Schusterman, whose family business, Samson Investment, had grown to become one of the nation's largest independent oil and gas companies, created the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation.[1]
Giving historically focused largely on the global Jewish community, Israel, and the family's hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, but later expanded to support equity and inclusion efforts in the U.S.[3]
After Charles' death in 2000, Lynn Schusterman continued to lead the organization, joined by her daughter, Stacy H.
Schusterman. Lynn became chair emerita of the organization in 2018, and Stacy Schusterman assumed the role of chair. In 2021, the family began to use the name Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Phil
