Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Prescott
Who Are We?
We are a not for profit public charity created solely for educational, charitable, and religious purposes governed by an all-volunteer Board of Trustees
Why We Give
For over 5,000 years, Jewish teaching have emphasized the importance of Tzedakah (Hebrew for charity). Unlike voluntary giving, Tzedakah is considered an ethical and moral obligation to give regardless of one’s financial resources
To Whom We Give
