What are the benefits of giving to JCCF versus giving directly to an organization that I support?
Individual organizations in our area are doing amazing work. We honor the people who support those organizations with their gifts. But all too often a nonprofit’s budget is based on meeting expenses for a single year. Few local nonprofits have been able to establish long-term, invested reserve funds or endowments. This is where JCCF comes in. Through a JCCF fund you can plan your giving, supporting the organizations you care about over a longer period of time. We help nonprofits build capacity, and we pool the community’s resources in a combined portfolio of funds to produce a substantial return that can then be reinvested right here at home — including in your favorite nonprofit.
