Caring for people when they're vulnerable | Strengthening organizational partners | Creating vibrant Jewish life
What does your organization need to excel?
That’s the question we ask our partners every day, in different ways. We listen to their answers and then get to work. Far beyond simply offering funding (though we do that, too!), we make sure the essentials are covered: from improved security and safety, to training for staff and volunteer layleaders, to maximizing our combined buying power through group purchasing efforts. By providing this critical support, our partners can do more of what they do best — for you.

“Thank you so so so very much! We’re testing all staff 2X per week, and this funding will allow us to buy 2,000 tests. That’s a HUGE impact!”
— Amy Schectman, 2Life Communities
Boosting security with training and funding
During a time of rising antisemitism, we’re working to make our Jewish community safer and more secure, while also being warm and welcoming.
“The great relationship that we built with Jeremy and Dan through the CJP CSI training for over five years now has been incredibly helpful for our early learning centers.”

Unique data tool reveals new insights
We all want our Jewish organizations to thrive. That’s why we worked with local CEOs, researchers, and other experts to develop a customized tool to measure the health of our communal partners. The results help them understand their strengths and areas for growth, while informing the capacity-building services that CJP provides. Last year, 34 nonprofits self-reported on key indicators including finances, leadership, governance, and more. Want to see what we discovered?
