BEGIN A FAMILY TRADITION OF PHILANTHROPY

Philanthropy is an expression of your family’s values, offering you the opportunity to involve your children and grandchildren in repairing our world and supporting causes that are important to all of you. JCF Donor Advised Funds and Supporting Foundations create a valuable partnership between you as a donor and the Jewish Community Foundation of MetroWest NJ, allowing you to put those values into practice.

Donor Advised Funds and Supporting Foundations are flexible and are easy to set up and use. You can establish a fund in your family’s name or choose to keep your giving anonymous. And with JCF as your partner, you will free yourself of the details of financial management, reporting, vetting of charities, and related paperwork.

Members of your family can be named as additional advisors to your fund, working in partnership with you or following in your footsteps to continue your tradition of philanthropy. JCF offers a variety of investment and grant-making options, and our professional gift planners are available to consult with you on whatever you need.

For families interested in investing their charitable assets outside of JCF investment pools, a Supporting Foundation may be a wise option. Supporting Foundations share JCF MetroWest’s non-profit status but are separately incorporated funds.
