Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles Group

About Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles Group

A pooled Community Impact Fund helps the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles Group fill gaps for Israelis healing and rebuilding after October 7th, while other pooled funds support a vibrant and secure Jewish community in Los Angeles and one-time emergency help for vulnerable individuals and families during crises. That mix of Israel-focused recovery, local Jewish community protection, and crisis response is the clearest thread in its recent grantmaking. The foundation’s recent activity also shows large general-support grants flowing to established institutions and federated partners. Valley Beth Shalom received $2,417,500 in 2024 and $1,676,500 in 2025, while the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles received $722,300 in 2024 and $563,775 in 2025. The Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles itself appears among recipients as well, including a $17,554,585 grant in 2025 and a $2,317,884 grant in 2024, both for general support. Its grantmaking is not limited to synagogue or federation infrastructure. The recent list includes support for campus Jewish life, social services, health care, culture, and advocacy organizations, reflecting a funder that uses multiple vehicles to address Jewish communal needs, emergency conditions, and broader community support.
