Giving with us

Engage in enlightened philanthropy

The Jewish community is diverse—and its donors are similarly diverse in supporting:

  • established institutions or new, innovative programs
  • causes in the community at large or within the Jewish community
  • current or future needs
  • a broad range of causes from education to the arts to international development

But we share the values of tzedakah, ensuring the future, and giving for giving's sake.

Charitable giving—and what is important to you

At The Jewish Community Foundation, we are experienced in matching Jewish givers with the right fund options and giving vehicles to suit their circumstances and 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 charitable giver?
  • What would you like to see happen as a result of your giving?

It is the exploration of questions that makes planning, giving and grantmaking through The Jewish Community Foundation truly meaningful.

Working with us

At the Foundation, we can help:

  • Develop philanthropic plans that speak to values and charitable goals
  • Help find organizations that are making an impact in a particular area of interest
