Support and strengthen the Jewish community in Greater Phoenix through philanthropy, community programs, security, youth engagement, education and Israel-related initiatives.
A defining feature of Jewish Community Association of Greater Phoenix’s recent giving is the use of general support across a network of Jewish institutions, from Valley of the Sun Jewish Community in Scottsdale to Jewish Family and Children’s Service in Phoenix. That pattern points to an institution that funds both core community infrastructure and programmatic needs rather than a single narrow cause. The foundation’s grant list also shows repeated support for Jewish education and youth experiences. Bureau of Jewish Education in Scottsdale received multiple general-support grants, while East Valley Jewish Community Center in Chandler and Hillel Jewish Student Center at ASU in Tempe also appear among the larger awards. In the same stream of giving, the association backed organizations tied to Jewish life, campus engagement, and community services, including Camp Daisy and Harry Stein, Gesher Disability Resources, and Phoenix Holocaust Association. Its portfolio is not limited to local organizations in Greater Phoenix. Jewish Federations of North America in New York and Jewish Agency for Israel in New York both recur in the recent grants list, alongside Friends of United Hatzalah and the Arizona Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. The result is a funding profile that combines local community support with Israel-related and national Jewish communal allocations.
Jewish education and youth engagement are visible through grants to the Bureau of Jewish Education in Scottsdale, the East Valley Jewish Community Center in Chandler, and Hillel Jewish Student Center at ASU in Tempe. Those awards sit alongside camp-related support through Camp Daisy and Harry Stein in Scottsdale and Camp Ramah in California in Encino. Community services and family support also appear in the grant list. Jewish Family and Children’s Service in Phoenix received multiple general-support grants, while Gesher Disability Resources in Scottsdale appears more than once as well. The association also backed Phoenix Holocaust Association, indicating attention to education and remembrance within the Jewish community. Israel and broader Jewish communal infrastructure are part of the picture too. Jewish Federations of North America in New York and Jewish Agency for Israel in New York both received repeated general support, and Friends of United Hatzalah also appears among the recent grantees.
