WHO WE SERVE

Nonprofits & Community Organizations

Supporting Strong Organizations, Building a Vibrant Jewish Community, and A Thriving World

The Jewish Community Foundation leverages our resources, partnerships, and relationships to help create community-led solutions for the biggest challenges for the Jewish community and the Greater Washington region. We look to our communities themselves to help define the challenges and the obstacles, as well as the solutions that should drive our work to transform the region. We help organizations build capacity and sustainability, connect with donors, and offer best-in-class investment management for organizational endowments.

Ways To Partner

Philanthropy has a unique role to play when unanticipated challenges suddenly arise. Nonprofits and individual funders can move quickly and efficiently to share information, mobilize resources, and help individuals in need. In the past we have worked to respond to the war in Ukraine, the hurricanes in North Carolina, wildfires in Los Angeles, campus antisemitism, and the ongoing crisis in Israel.
