The Genesis Fund

For New or Special Endeavors

The Genesis Fund is the community's fund for research, development and special projects.

Neil November once wrote that the Genesis Fund "represents the most valuable endowment resource of Richmond's family of endowments."

The Genesis Fund, the Foundation's unrestricted pool, is a communal source for research, development and special projects funding, providing support to a wide variety of communal projects. Genesis Fund grants seed innovation as its corpus endures to sustain community.

Gifts to the Genesis Fund provide a unique and valuable resource for the Richmond Jewish community. No other fund has the flexibility or freedom to provide such invaluable aid. The committee based grant-making process serves as an incubator of new ideas, initiatives and special projects to benefit Jewish community.
