Minimize Your Taxes and Maximize Your Impact

Since 1972, Jewish Communal Fund has helped Jewish philanthropists make their charitable giving simpler, smarter and more impactful.

Combining maximum tax efficiency, flexible timing and low costs, a JCF donor advised fund functions like a personal account for your charitable giving.

Open your fund by year-end with an initial contribution of $5,000 or more in cash, appreciated securities or other assets, and you can:
• Stop tracking receipts and centralize your giving.
• Receive the maximum tax deduction allowed by law and avoid capital gains tax on long-term appreciated securities.
• Easily make grants online to the IRS-qualified charities of your choosing. Grant are sent swiftly, especially in support of emergency aid to Israel.
• Invest your charitable assets and earn tax-free income that is rebalanced into your fund.
