Community Endowment Fund Guidelines

OJCF's Community Endowment Fund Committee gives priority to projects addressing needs in the areas of Jewish art and culture, community development, education, health, social welfare and/or any other special events that:
  • Represent an innovative, start-up effort
  • Are capital in nature, i.e. construction, renovation, equipment
  • Promote collaboration among qualified organizations without duplicating services
  • Serve a broad segment of the community
  • Are located in Oregon or the SW Washington area
Qualified applicants are prioritized as follows:
  • Member organizations of OJCF
  • Other Oregon and SW Washington 501 (C)(3) Jewish organizations
  • Projects sponsored by 501(c)(3) organizations that promote Jewish art, culture, education, health, social welfare or community development within the State of Oregon and SW Washington.
The Foundation generally does not support fundraisers, endowment development or debt reduction, individual scholarships, private foundations, political projects, or other "cause-related" programs. Unrestricted Fund applications must be postmarked by August 31st. Please submit the application and supplemental items to:
