At
The Jewish Community Foundation, our mission is to help you
turn your values, philanthropic goals and resources into enlightened
Jewish philanthropy. In working with you to set up a fund and
engage in enlightened philanthropy, we apply our combined decades
of experience to help you turn your unique Jewish philanthropic
vision into reality. We bring our decades of experience in planned
giving, community involvement and strategic grantmaking to the
table, helping you make solid connections between the community's
needs, your objectives, and your charitable giving activities.
Getting to know you
Each philanthropist's individual and family situation is
unique. So we make it our first task to get to know you—your
interests, goals, concerns and giving priorities—and
apply our expertise to match you with the fund options and
giving options that best suit you. We work to ensure that
you have the information and resources you need to make informed
decisions, each step of the way. If desired, we can draw upon
our network of trusted advisors to help you find a legal,
financial or estate professional who might best serve your
needs.
Making your philanthropy strategic
We can also work with you to set giving priorities for strategic
grantmaking. We can research potential beneficiaries in areas
that matter to you, making comparisons and recommendations,
with an eye to areas of need in the local community and overseas.
We can even work with the beneficiaries of your generosity—the
programs and organizations that support and enrich our community—to
ensure that you are "in the loop" and your philanthropic
intentions are honored.
Additionally, if you have children who you wish to involve
in your family's philanthropic activities, we can work to
engage you to set family goals, objectives and intent going
forward. And we can work with you to create an ethical will—so
you can pass down your values as well as your resources.
Your goals, your charitable activity, your community
In this dynamic process we strive to be as open, flexible
and creative as possible, honoring your values while working
within the guidelines and policies that make us a responsible
community partner. At The Jewish Community Foundation, we
strive to put you in the driver's seat—as you exercise
your Jewish values, fulfill your goals, and contribute to
a vibrant, flourishing community.
