The Jewish Funders Network (JFN) is an international organization of family foundations, public philanthropies, and individual funders dedicated to advancing the quality and growth of Jewish philanthropy. JFN’s members include independent philanthropists, foundation trustees and foundation professionals – a unique community that seeks to transform the nature of Jewish giving in both thought and action.

As the number of Jewish foundations and individual funders has grown – more than doubling in total assets over the past seven years to approximately $30 billion in the United States alone – so has the need for a dynamic international network of philanthropic leaders. The mission of the Jewish Funders Network is to help philanthropists maximize the impact of their giving by assisting them identify needs and challenges; shape individual and collective Jewish responses to those needs and challenges; and pursue opportunities to address those needs and challenges. In this mission and through its work, JFN adheres to a fundamental set of Jewish values.

Membership is open to individuals and foundations that give away at least $25,000 annually in philanthropic dollars, and do so through the lens of Jewish values, no matter whether the funds go to specifically Jewish causes or to broader areas.

JFN is not a grantmaking organization and has no political agenda or affiliation. Solicitation of members is not permitted and all member information is kept strictly confidential.
