Donor Advised Funds
Participatory Funds
One of the most satisfying aspects of philanthropy is the ability of the donor to participate in the grant-making process. Donor Advised Funds represent a unique opportunity to do just that and can be established with a minimum gift of $10,000. Under our Donor Advised Fund program, donors or their designees make recommendations for grants to qualified charities.
These funds support social service programs, education, the arts and many other sectarian and non-sectarian causes. Most importantly, they are a substantial source of support for our affiliating agencies, synagogues, special program grants throughout our community, the Foundation's own Genesis Fund, additions to the Foundation's Special Purpose Funds as well as for gifts to the Federation's Annual Campaign. Richmond Jewish Foundation publishes a quarterly listing of funding opportunities distributed to Donor Advised Fund holders. We gratefully recognize the generous individuals and families who have established Donor Advised Funds with the Richmond Jewish Foundation.
