The Jewish Community Foundation is the endowment and planned giving arm of the Jewish community in Southern Arizona. It is an affiliated corporation of the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona.

Its mission is to encourage charitable giving, particularly endowment giving, to help ensure the continued vitality of those institutions and activities that promote Jewish identity or support a high quality of Jewish life, and to manage those funds received in a prudent and effective manner.

To accomplish its mission the Foundation will:

• Effectively promote the concept of planned charitable giving.
• Establish itself, by excellence of service to donors and management performance, as the institution of choice for those interested in planned giving.
• Work cooperatively with other agencies to help them encourage increased giving among their own constituencies, and serve as effective stewards of these funds if desired by the agency concerned.
• Distribute fund income to meet community needs generally consistent with the principles and purposes of the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona.
