J E W I S H T R A D I T I O N has long celebrated the idea that every day is a chance to begin anew. You could say that innovation is in our DNA. The Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund was created over 100 years ago by a group of innovative leaders who knew that when smart, passionate, dedicated people come together with a common purpose, they can have a big impact on the challenges of their time.

Match one mensch with another and good things happen.

O N O N E H A N D, there’s an abundance of highly-talented Jewish professionals eager to donate their skills to enhance the health and vibrancy of the community.

O N T H E OT H E R H A N D, there’s a plethora of Jewish non-profit organizations that could benefit from their expertise.

These organizations – which are in the business of

doing good for

others – often lack resources to invest in strengthening their own capacity. So critical functions like marketing, HR, finance, accounting, and IT frequently operate on a “bare bones” budget.

At the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund, we match professionals who want to do good with the organizations in our community that want their help.

Building the capacity of our community’s organizations to achieve their missions is key to the Federation’s vision of building a vibrant and caring Jewish community.

In addition to match-making, we also organize in-person and online learning communities that help the do-gooders running and leading our community’s nonprofit organizations do even more.
