Our Goal Making a difference in the lives of Jewish women and girls – that’s the goal of the Jewish Women’s Foundation (JWF) of South Palm Beach County. The JWF, an initiative of the Jewish Community Foundation of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, offers Jewish women the opportunity to be hands-on philanthropists and support causes in which they most passionately believe here in our Our Grants Through strategic and effective grant-making, the JWF funds programs and projects that work to improve the status of Jewish women and girls. Most significantly, these programs proactively address the source of the varied challenges this group faces. We have funded important educational initiatives for teenage girls in South Palm Beach County, deepening their knowledge of Judaism and Jewish culture while helping them integrate Jewish values into their lives. In Israel, we helped treat abused girls to break the cycle of child abuse and domestic violence and supported a training program giving immigrant Ethiopian women the opportunity to enter the workforce to support their families. Our Pledge The Jewish Women’s Foundation, a diverse group of women representing various backgrounds, interests and ages, is being built by $10,000, $50,000 and $100,000 tax-deductible contributions, payable over five years. All Trustees – regardless of giving level – have an equal vote in the grant-making process. |
