Racial Justice & Equity Giving Opportunities
Our historic communal experiences with forms of systemic oppression, leveled against us as antisemitism, encourage us to stand up against racism and bigotry in all its forms.
The Jewish journey towards inclusion should also acknowledge and lift up the voices of Jews of Color, many of whom have been marginalized both within the Jewish community and by broader society.[1] [2] Our Jewish values such as loving kindness (chesed), justice (tzedek), and repairing the world (tikkun olam) serve as a guide to take action.
The organizations listed below address different aspects of these important issues within the Jewish community and beyond and have been vetted by our team.
If you are interested in opening a Federation Donor-Advised Fund to facilitate your giving, start here.
