The Foundation is celebrating another record-breaking year of grantmaking: 

  • 4,900 distributions
  • $67 million awarded and facilitated

Since 1967, the Foundation has endeavored to ensure a vibrant and secure Jewish community in San Diego, Israel and around the world.

I look back and connect the dots to see that indeed my life’s many activities have embraced the theme of helping people. The ability to give back and contribute – of time, talent, and financial capacity – is a motivating force for me. Read more from the Book of Life.
 

As school children return to school this fall, many are benefiting from a strong Jewish education available at one of San Diego's five excellent Jewish day schools – all supported by Foundation donors. A strong Jewish education is one of the greatest tools we have for ensuring the survival of Jewish values and traditions:

 

  • Chabad Hebrew Academy
  • San Diego Jewish Academy
  • Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School
  • Southern California Yeshiva High School
  • Torah High School of San Diego
     

At Soille Hebrew Day, Headmaster and Rabbi Simcha Weiser, pictured above, sets the tone by reading to kindergartners. Read more Giving Stories.

Sept. 4, 2010 -- Jewish Community Foundation CEO Marjory Kaplan, James Farley, and Murray Galinson published an opinion article on hunger in The San Diego Union-Tribune.  As September is National Hunger Action Month, the article identifies ways people can take action to make a difference.

 

The article builds on the study on hunger and food insecurity that the Jewish Community Foundation conducted in 2009.
 

Thanks to grants from several Foundation donors, elementary school children are receiving backpacks of food for the weekend through the San Diego Food Bank’s innovative Food 4 Kids Backpack Program.
