Out of a Mountain of Despair, a Stone of Hope

In our fiscal year 2024, which represented our 50th year of operations, DJCF/SWCF fundholders directed a record $37 million to charities from funds held at the foundation.  This is a 48% year-over-year increase in giving. 

$3 million was raised through our Community Resilience and Crisis Response crowdfunding page supporting Israel, combatting antisemitism and securing our community.

Charitable assets under management grew by net $80 million to our current AUM of $360 million. We are more than a third of the way to our $1 Billion goal!!

Grew our custodial agency relationships to include 62 nonprofit organizations, based locally and nationally, both Jewish and secular.

Surpassed $3 million in charitable support via scholarships awarded. Expanded our scholarship program to now offer 80 unique opportunities to support educational pathways from early childhood to advanced degrees, across a wide range of academic interests and eligibility.

An initiative to grow community legacy giving and endowment.  This includes 1:1 charitable conversations with individuals and families, training and education for nonprofit leaders and professional advisors.
