About Jewishcolorado
JEWISHColorado’s grantmaking shows a federation-style platform that ties together Jewish education, community services, Israel support, and security work. Among the largest recent grants, $2,322,286 went to La Museum of the Holocaust Martyrs Memorial in Los Angeles for general operating support, and $1,044,800 went to Davidson College for general operating support. Those awards sit alongside major support for Colorado institutions such as Hillel Academy in Denver and Jewish Family Service of Colorado Inc., indicating a mix of local institutions and national Jewish infrastructure. The foundation operates with a broad regional reach rather than a single-program model. It funds unrestricted and general operating support, emergency and recovery efforts, and community engagement activities. Recent grants also include support for the Jewish Agency of Israel in New York and The Jewish Federations of North America Inc., which points to both local convening and broader Jewish communal investment. Across the record, JEWISHColorado’s giving is organized around sustaining institutions, meeting urgent needs, and supporting Jewish life in Colorado and beyond.
What Jewishcolorado Funds
Jewish education and youth programs appear repeatedly in the grant record. JEWISHColorado gave $839,622 to Hillel Academy in Denver for general operating support and $238,505 to Denver Jewish Day School for general operating support, showing direct support for Jewish educational institutions. Community programming is another clear thread. The foundation awarded $237,442 to Congregation Emanuel in Denver and $177,047 to Jewish Community Centers of Denver, both for general operating support, alongside $143,936 to the same JCC in a later year. These grants align with a pattern of supporting organizations that anchor participation, services, and identity-building. Israel and overseas giving also appears in the grant list. JEWISHColorado provided $520,000 to Jewish Agency of Israel in New York and $249,550 to The Jewish Federations of North America Inc in New York, matching its stated work in Israel and overseas programs. Security and resilience are present too through its crisis and safety-focused funding framework.
