About Jewish Helping Hands
Jewish Helping Hands is a small Jewish philanthropic foundation that makes modest, targeted grants to grassroots organizations addressing poverty, basic needs, and community resilience in the U.S., Israel, and selected international regions. Its giving reflects a strong Tikkun Olam orientation, with particular interest in women’s empowerment, education, food and shelter, and projects that help vulnerable or marginalized communities become more self-sufficient. It also supports teen-led social action, suggesting an openness to local, hands-on projects with clear community benefit.
