Our charitable community embodies what it means to give Jewishly. Combining Jewish values with personalized service, we inspire generosity, and strategize with you to maximize impact.

FOR NONPROFITS & COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
The Jewish Community Foundation leverages our resources and relationships to help create community-led solutions for the biggest challenges facing 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 address long-term challenges like antisemitism, housing for Jewish elderly, the underrepresentation of women and girls in leadership, and the support of Holocaust survivors living below the poverty line.

The Foundation works with advisors from the legal, accounting, insurance, wealth management, and investment fields to help individuals and families reach their charitable goals.
