Welcome!

If you are reading this, you have some connection to the Jewish Youth Tzedakah Foundation. This blog will include related items of interest, including posts from our 2009-2010 Foundation members.

The Jewish Youth Tzedakah Foundation is a program of the Center for Jewish Education of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas. The Foundation exists to bring Jewish 10th and 11th graders together to learn about nonprofits, group decision making, and tzedakah, the Jewish responsibility to give. Together teens will contribute money that is then matched by a local donor. With these funds, they will request grant proposals, review them together, and determine as a group where their funds will be donated.

This program is generously funded by Carol and Alan Bernon, the Morton H. Meyerson Family Foundation, the Howard and Leslie Schultz Family Foundation, and the Jewish Teen Funders Network.
