$1 million in funding
for security initiatives each year
JCYF empowers local Jewish high school leaders to make a real impact by granting funds to community organizations. Through leadership development and Jewish philanthropy, participants design a competitive grants program, collectively deciding their funding focus and awarding $10,000 to selected initiatives.
Past grants have supported programs in Jewish education, senior services, summer camps, and more—helping organizations like Zusman Hospice and Jewish Family Services. Funded by the Columbus Jewish Foundation Legacy Board, JCYF is shaping the next generation of Jewish leaders.
