The Jewish community is diverse—and its philanthropists
are similarly diverse in their approaches to giving and grantmaking.
Many provide support to the established institutions in our
community, while others fund new, innovative programs. As
part of their quest for tikkun olam, many give to causes
in the community at large as well as within the Jewish community.
Some focus their giving on the concerns of today, while others
create endowments to provide for future needs.
Jewish philanthropists' range of interests is broad as well—ranging
from local education and social services to the arts to international
development. These interests are based on unique histories
and experiences. But as a group we share the values that made
us philanthropists in the first place: the values of tzedakah,
ensuring a better future for our communities, and giving for
giving's sake.
Philanthropy—and your passions
There is no shortage of places—and ways—to give.
Between estate planning, complex charitable planned giving
vehicles and fund choices, there are many options for people
seeking to increase their impact.
At The Jewish Community Foundation, we are experienced in
matching Jewish philanthropists with the right mix of charitable
vehicles and fund options to suit their goals. But we also
understand that all of this must start with questions, such
as: What are you truly concerned about? What makes you a philanthropist?
What would you like to see happen as a result of your giving?
It is the exploration that comes out of these questions that
makes philanthropic planning, giving and grantmaking through
The Jewish Community Foundation truly meaningful.
