“As my ancestors planted for me, so I plant for my children”
- Ta’anit 23a

Next Generation and Intergenerational Philanthropy are vital to the future and stability of our Jewish community, here and around the world.

The Jewish Community Endowment Fund’s professional team has expertise in Youth Philanthropy and provides Next Gen consultancies tailored to the needs of individuals and families. Group and individual consultations are conducted with and eye to transferring values and helping the next generation develop their philanthropic passion and skill.
