Mission

We convene, connect, invest, and protect jewish life in colorado, israel, and around the world.

Programs

2 programs

We invest in the Jewish future through mission trips to Israel, the Joyce Zeff Israel Study Tour, the Jewish Student Connection program, and individual philanthropy. Our Real Estate & Construction Network invested in a better tomorrow for Denver and Colorado. The Jewish Community Foundation provides a personalized approach and a variety of options for charitable and planned giving. We offer trusted, donor centered planning with individuals, families, and organizations to bring philanthropic visions to life. Through our management of donor advised funds and endowments, we partner with individuals and families to develop a meaningful charitable gift plan, helping to educate the next generation about tzedakah and to support the Jewish causes that our fundholders care so deeply about. We also help nonprofit organizations grow charitable assets to meet current and future needs.

We convene and connect Jewish groups and individuals. JEWISHcolorado convened the community at multiple large events, including: From Home to Homeland, Am Yisrael Chai: A Celebrate Israel Event, Women's Philanthropy CHOICES, Pray for Peace in Israel: A Community Vigil, and Yom HaZikaron. PJ Library sent out more than 4,700 books each month to subscribers in Colorado, and hosted more than 85 programs and gatherings for nearly 3,300 families. Jewish Explorers had 2,556 young student engagements, there were 471 Young Adult program participants, Shinshinim had more than 45,000 interactions with participants, the Shlicha had more than 2,500 engagements, and Jewish Student Connection had 5,428 engagements with 700 teens at 13 high schools providing a safe and welcoming space for Jewish students across the state.
