About Jewish Women's Foundation of New Jersey
The Jewish Women’s Foundation of New Jersey (JWF) transforms the lives of individual women and girls through hands-on philanthropy and collective grant making. Through our giving, we invite women to be agents for change and to positively impact the lives of women and girls in New Jersey and beyond.
JWF grants and special initiatives have raised awareness of pressing issues and made a sustainable difference in women’s and girls' lives at all levels.
Founded in 2007, JWF pools philanthropic dollars to successfully fund innovative secular and Jewish programs and special initiatives, provide education on vital issues, and engage in advocacy efforts through a gender lens.
Our focus is often on areas that are of importance to many women — families, workplace concerns, self-esteem, education, and domestic violence, among others.
The concept is simple. JWF’s policy is “one woman, one vote.” Every member is an equal stakeholder in a transparent decision-making process. You too can affect meaningful change and transform lives.
The mission of the Jewish Women’s Foundation of New Jersey (JWF) is to transform the lives of individual women and girls through collective grantmaking while improving the quality of life for the entire community.
