Since the outbreak of war in Israel, JCF’s dedicated community of funders has sent over $53 million across more than 5,000 grants to emergency relief funds. Our CEO, Rachel Schnoll, continues to provide updates on donors’ generous contributions.

Another way fundholders can support Israel is by investing their DAF assets in Israel Bonds and loans through our Ogen Social Impact program which provides financial resources to families and businesses in need in Israel. To make you charitable giving efficient and organized, open a fund today at JCF, the largest Jewishly affiliated donor advised fund in the nation.

Since October 7, our JCF network of fund holders and the entire Jewish community have come together to support each other and find ways to respond to the new and sobering reality that we confront. In addition to sending tens of millions of dollars in grants to support many Israel relief efforts, JCF has organized programming to help inform our fundholders. On November 29, JCF hosted a webinar entitled The Philanthropic Response to the Crisis in Israel and Domestic Antisemitism.
