Young Funders' Forum | Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund

Young Funder's Forum

Young Funder’s Forum provides individuals (in their 20’s-40’s) the opportunity to deepen their philanthropic skills and realize their passion for improving the world through “giving back.”

YFF achieves this by:

Building community
Developing thoughtful approaches to giving through hands-on learning
Connecting with philanthropic thought leaders and change-makers
Creating a welcoming and confidential space for candid discussion

Young Funders’ Forum plays a key role in the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund’s work to engage and develop Jewish philanthropists and leaders in addressing pressing community needs.

Six to eight programs are held each year on the Peninsula and in San Francisco. There is no charge to participate in YFF or direct solicitation, although giving opportunities are sometimes presented.
