We invest in community
Through strategic grant-making, CJP collaborates with people and partners dedicated to making a bigger difference. We thoughtfully and purposefully invest in a broad array of organizations, programs, and people within Greater Boston, in Israel, and around the world to create transformational impact. From first-time campers to organizations addressing global crises, our grantees are as varied and diverse as our community.
We believe that a strong community is one that’s ever evolving to meet the needs of the day and anticipating the challenges ahead. We employ grant-making as one critical tool for building and fortifying a vibrant Jewish future, and seek to incentivize and embolden those grantees that strive to meet the following ideals:

Partnership
Collaboration between multiple institutions working together toward shared outcomes

Capacity and resilience
Stability, responsiveness, and continually seeking improvement

Innovation and adaptability
Intrepid and entrepreneurial approaches and existing work that demonstrates agility

Connection
Prioritizing people and future-forward ideas with the aim of a thriving and engaged Jewish community
Using these guiding principles as our north star, our work and investments focus on three critical impact areas:

Care for the most vulnerable
We are committed to ensuring that the most vulnerable in our community are financially, physically, and emotionally secure.

Broaden and deepen Jewish engagement
We invest in experiences, learning, opportunities, and programs that enable broader and deeper engagement with Jewish life, identity, and learning.

Build knowledge and connection with Israel and Global Jewry
We strengthen understanding of, connection with, and caring for the Jewish homeland of Israel and Jews around the world.
