Rooted in History, Building the Future

For more than a century, the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund has been a central address championing the needs of the Jewish community in the Bay Area, Israel, and around the world. As a center for Jewish philanthropy, the Federation operates as an integrated community foundation that inspires personal and collaborative philanthropy, and facilitates grantmaking, impact investing, and advocacy to make our world a better place.

We partner with individuals and families to implement their charitable vision; provide strategic stewardship of charitable resources; and connect with and strengthen the Jewish nonprofit sector. As one of the top five community foundations* in California and the number one funder of Jewish causes in the state**, the Federation is working to build a strong, vibrant, and thriving community and respond to the most urgent issues of our time.
