We are Jewish Boca. A local community with global impact. We Change People’s Lives. The Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County supports local and international partner agencies to provide care, education, training, nourishment, resources, counseling, recreation and connection, strengthening Jewish communities in South Palm Beach County, Israel, and around the world.
Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County Inc channels large, recurring support to Jewish institutions and safety-net providers, with its biggest recent grants going to Jacobson Jewish Community Foundation and Jewish Federations of North America. That pattern fits a broader funding approach that backs local Jewish life, education, family services, and emergency response through multi-year support rather than isolated awards. In the recent grants list, several Boca Raton institutions appear across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service Inc, Adolph & Rose Levis Jewish Community Center Inc, Donna Klein Jewish Academy Inc, and Jewish Association for Residential Care Inc. The foundation’s own program descriptions point to two linked priorities: sustaining Jewish community infrastructure and meeting practical needs for people facing crisis, isolation, mental health challenges, or food insecurity. It also funds work tied to Israel and international Jewish communities, and its active programs include dedicated funds for local safety-net services, Jewish life and learning, and women’s philanthropy grants. Grant language in the recent awards shows a mix of general support and support for exempt purposes, indicating flexible operating-style funding for established partners.
Education and Jewish learning are a central strand of the foundation’s work. The William K. & Naomi Kramer Fund for Jewish Life and Learning supports Jewish day school programs, scholarships, adult education, youth engagement, and community celebrations. In the recent grants list, Katz Hillel Day School Inc received $317,121 in 2023, $266,073 in 2024, and $138,228 in 2025, showing sustained backing for school-based Jewish education. Special-needs and residential support are another recurring theme. Jewish Association for Residential Care Inc received $428,098 in 2024 and $300,000 in 2025, alongside a focus area that includes inclusion and disability services. The Sarah and Max Pechter Fund for Local Safety Net Services targets food assistance, behavioral health, case management for Holocaust survivors, and crisis response, connecting the foundation’s community support work to direct human services. The active Jewish Women’s Foundation programs add another lane, supporting initiatives for women and girls and broader community welfare.
