The Board of Trustees, Grants Committee, and staff of the Jewish Community Foundation, Inc. take pride in announcing that over $54,000 in JCF Grants has been awarded for the Fall 2024 cycle to benefit 34 new and innovative programs and services throughout Southern New Jersey.
This 50th JCF Grants Cycle marks a new record high dollar amount that the JCF has awarded in one cycle. These awards are made possible thanks to generous donors who have established endowment funds (listed at bottom) specific to perpetuating JCF Grants, which spin-off annual income for this growing venture.
In addition, private donors committed $3,600 to support several grants, bringing the total amount to more than $58,000 for the cycle.
Mazel tov to all grantees, and we look forward to seeing how each of these programs positively impacts our South Jersey Jewish community.
