Burlington, Camden, & Gloucester (NJ) county residents pursuing post-high school education or experiential travel may now apply for JCF Scholarship Awards.

The 2026 JCF Scholarship Awards application cycle is now open thru the deadline of March 6. This year, we launch three new awards & $50,000 in sum will be awarded.

Donors aged 70 1/2 and older can donate via an IRA QCD (qualified charitable distribution) to save on taxes while supporting the charitable causes they love.

The Fall 2025 JCF Grants cycle will provide over $51,000 for new programs & services in SNJ. Independent contributors will add an estimated $30,000 to the sum.

The JCF can help you meet your year-end charitable giving goals when you open a DAF, start an endowment fund, or establish an after-lifetime gift via Life & Legacy.

To celebrate legacy and endowment fund donors the JCF hosted a complimentary Legacy Thank You Event on 11/11/25, in conjunction with the Katz JCC's Festival.

The JCF's upcoming Legacy Thank You Event will honor donors who have committed to leaving a legacy or created an endowment fund with the JCF. Thank you donors!
