Mission

The Jewish Funds for Justice (JFSJ) is a national public foundation guided by Jewish history and tradition. JFSJ helps people in the United States achieve social and economic security and opportunity by investing in healthy neighborhoods, vibrant Jewish communities, and skillful leaders. Our holistic approach to social change includes grantmaking and loans, service learning, leadership development, organizing, education, and advocacy. JFSJ was created in 2006 when its legacy organizations, The Shefa Fund and Jewish Fund for Justice, merged. Before the merger, each legacy organization had a distinct record of accomplishment as a public foundation committed to using Jewish resources to bring about social change.
