The Jewish Community Foundation partners with individuals, families, and organizations who want their giving to make a meaningful impact. Together, we support the causes and institutions that enrich Jewish life and help our community thrive.
Funds can be established at any stage of life and tailored to your philanthropic priorities. We work closely with donors to maximize the impact of their giving, whether their focus is local, national, or global.
Browse our funds below. Funds fall into one of four categories: Unrestricted Funds, Donor Advised Funds, Designated Funds, and Organizational Funds.
Thanks to the generosity of donors establishing unrestricted funds, the Foundation’s vital grant program can respond to rapidly evolving and emerging community needs.
Donor-advised funds enable fund-holders to support the charitable organizations, areas of interest, and programs of their choosing.
Designated funds direct distributions to specific charitable organizations named by the donor when the fund is established.
Facilitating connections between young people and Jewish life is important to our fund holders. The following endowment funds provide need- and merit-based scholarships, as well as need-based camperships to ensure that as many children as possible can receive a Jewish education or attend a Jewish summer camp.
