The Jewish Community Foundation is here to help you advance your philanthropic goals by giving today and building a legacy for future generations. Our goals are to help you give Jewishly, practice effective philanthropy, build deep community partnerships and bridges across lines of difference. We offer customized philanthropic advisement for individuals and families ranging from developing a family strategy, to identifying nonprofits aligned with your vision and values.

Jewish Community Foundation DAFs offer access to our expertise in Jewish philanthropy, competitive fees, a convenient, web-based platform for transactions, and support for donors with complex assets including small business interests and real estate.

By joining forces, donors can make a significant difference together, strengthening the sense of belonging and shared purpose, while fostering meaningful and impactful giving. These programs aim to inspire collaborative generosity, amplifying the reach and effectiveness of charitable contributions.
