About United Jewish Community of Broward County
A large share of the United Jewish Community of Broward County Inc’s recent grantmaking supports Jewish education and community life in Broward, with major awards also going to national Jewish institutions and Israel-related organizations. One of its largest recent grants was $5,154,306 to Jewish Federations of North America in New York, NY, followed by multi-million-dollar support for Penn State Donor and Member Services in Brooklyn, NY and recurring seven-figure gifts to Goodman JFS of Broward in Davie, FL. The pattern shows a funder that uses substantial institutional grants alongside local community support. Recent awards also point to a strong local service base. David Posnack JCC in Davie, FL received multiple grants, including $1,786,266 in 2024 and $618,956 in 2025, while David Posnack Jewish Day School in Davie, FL received $948,077 in 2024 and $231,906 in 2023. Other Broward recipients include Brauser Maimonides Academy in Fort Lauderdale, Temple Kol Ami Emanu-El in Plantation, and Soref Jewish Community Center in Plantation. Together, these grants suggest a federation-style funder that moves between community infrastructure, education, social services, and Jewish continuity funding.

Community center and youth-serving institutions also appear repeatedly: David Posnack JCC in Davie, FL received $1,786,266 in 2024 and $618,956 in 2025, while Soref Jewish Community Center in Plantation received $212,489 in 2023 and $193,778 in 2024.
