First and foremost is our reputation for excellence. For over 38 years, the Jewish Communal Fund has received high marks from professional advisors and donors alike for its personalized service, professional business practices, and prudent fiscal management. JCF regularly appears among the top 100 charities on The Chronicle of Philanthropy's Philanthropy 400 list and consistently receives a 4-star rating for its efficiency from Charity Navigator.
Another distinguishing characteristic is our commitment to philanthropy. The Jewish Communal Fund is a community of caring individuals with a shared value system rooted in the Jewish tradition of tikkun olam - repairing the world. In addition to the grants made at the recommendation of our donors, the Board of Trustees awards a community gift each year from its fees and endowment income to support the Annual Campaign of UJA-Federation of New York and for targeted needs in the community.
