OUR MISSION

At the Jewish Community Foundation Orange County, we seek to guarantee a Jewish tomorrow through the creation of a culture of legacy within the Orange County Jewish community and by empowering individuals to engage in effective, meaningful giving. By planning for the continuation of philanthropy into the future with permanent endowments combined with current giving, we seek to ensure financial resources for the continued vitality of institutions that promote Jewish identity, support a high quality of Jewish life, and benefit the people of Orange County and Jewish communities around the world.
