    Built for How You Give

    Every JDF Giving Fund is designed to match how you โ€” or your family or company โ€” want to make an impact.

    For Individuals

    Total control. Total transparency.

    A JDF Giving Fund gives you something a standard donation can't: a real-time window into exactly where your money goes and when. Allocate across programs, hold funds in reserve, and deploy them as needs arise โ€” all tracked in a personal dashboard that's yours.

    Direct your gifts to campus defense, media accountability, rapid response, and more

    Build a reserve and deploy strategically โ€” on your schedule, not ours

    Access real-time dashboards, full contribution history, and instant tax receipts

    For Families

    Teach the next generation through shared giving.

    A Family Giving Fund brings the whole family to the table. Parents set the fund, invite family members to participate in allocation decisions, and use real giving as a hands-on tool for teaching tzedakah. Children see their family's collective impact. Everyone learns what it means to stand with the Jewish people.

    Invite family members to view and participate in giving decisions

    Teach tzedakah values through real money, real programs, real impact

    Track your family's collective giving history with shared dashboards and annual summaries

    Family members can be invited to view fund activity and participate in allocation recommendations. Account holder retains final control over all deployments.
