The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington announced today a new round of funding made possible by endowments held at the Jewish Community Foundation to support the Jewish community locally and internationally.
“Making these grants is especially meaningful because they represent the lasting legacies of members of our community who are no longer with us but have ensured that their love of the Jewish people and commitment to giving Jewishly lives on enable a more engaged, connected and vibrant Jewish community,” said Sara Brenner, Executive Director of the Jewish Community Foundation.
The grants announced today mean that Jewish values aligned programs that support children with special needs in Israel, combat antisemitism in the DMV will be able to deliver on their missions, and that beloved local agencies like Makom, JSSA and the Pozez JCC can continue their signature programming to meet the needs of members of our community.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington mobilizes community builders and organizations to identify and develop solutions to our community’s greatest needs. We serve as a hub to generate the kind of innovation and big thinking needed to guide our community to a vibrant future. As part of Federation, The Jewish Community Foundation leverages the power of individual donors and community to create a hub for Jewish philanthropy in the Greater Washington area, offering donor advised funds, legacy, bequests and personalized advisement.
The Federation is delighted to announce that $1.5 million in grants will be allocated across the following organizations:
