Center for Jewish Philanthropy

The Center for Jewish Philanthropy is designed to support philanthropists in their quest to better the world around them. The commitment to repair the world, one good deed at a time is known as Tikkun Olam and is one of the universal precepts of Judaism. Each performance of a mitzvah (good deed) and every act of charity helps make the world whole.

How It Works

The Center for Jewish Philanthropy helps bridge the gap between generations and provides a forum to nurture and celebrate core Jewish values. A skilled cadre of professionals devoted to making charitable giving simple, effective and satisfying, provide resources that help guide your personal philanthropy as much-or as little-as you'd like.
