What is TOP Jewish Foundation?
TOP Jewish Foundation was founded in 1980 to help community members maximize their charitable giving, while ensuring the Jewish future of our community. TOP proudly works with organizations, synagogues and day schools as well as individuals with endowment, legacy gifts and donor advised funds. Regardless of age, wealth or affiliation, we all have the ability to create a philanthropic fund.
For individuals and families, getting involved with TOP Jewish Foundation is like having a family foundation with less cost and more convenience.
Donors can receive many tax benefits from giving cash as well as non-cash gifts such as appreciated public securities, private stock, business interests, real estate and insurance policies.
Since its inception, TOP has grown to manage millions of dollars in community assets and taken a leading role in promoting and securing legacy gifts and commitments, ensuring a strong Jewish future.
-
- TOP manages over 700 different funds.
- Current assets under management total approximately $70 million,
- Since its inception, TOP has distributed over $100m into the Jewish and general communities.
We pride ourselves on being the only Jewish foundation that maintains a strict anti-terror and anti-BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) investment policy. We've worked with our investment manager, Goldman Sachs, to create a screening tool that does not allow any such problematic companies to enter our portfolio.
We offer our partners - individuals and organizations - a level of white-glove service, regardless of a fund's balance. This partnership offers an opportunity for the community to grow and be sustained.
In working with TOP for your philanthropic goals, you'll find that we truly live up to our tagline: We make giving easy.
