Non-Profit Organization Clients
How do we support non-profit clients?
At MN JCF, we are building a better world through tikkun olam. As one of the largest repositories and conduits for Jewish charitable giving in the Upper Midwest, MN JCF provides the long-term financial underpinnings that ensure our Jewish community’s future continuity.
MN JCF manages over $35 million in endowment and custodial assets for over a dozen non-profit organizations in Minnesota. We partner with non-profits to build their capacity and to uplift their missions, determine optimal fund structure, investment strategy, and provide professional investment management services. Together with our outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO), SEI, we provide world-class investment expertise.
Having you non-profit’s and donors’ endowment funds at MN JCF provides your organization with a source of income to support mission-related projects beyond day-to-day operations.
Suite of Services - Highlights
We act as your admin back office - lifting the administrative burden off the organization’s staff so they can focus on the mission of your organization.
We hold and grow endowment funds for organizations, helping you have a sustained and perpetual stream of income in a cost-effective and collaborative way. We invest this money so your organization’s annual fundraising and budget start with money that comes from your own endowment funds. That way your organization is starting ahead every year.
We provide personal service by people who know your organization. You receive the highest level of personal and timely customer service by people who know your organization, its culture, staff, and mission, its importance to the community, and goals.
We consistently strive to match-make our individual and family clients (based on their unique charitable interests) with community needs and organizations. Specifically focusing on putting our Agency clients in front of our individual and family donors as much as possible.
When you have a fund at our Foundation, we provide an entire suite of philanthropic services, including advising on endowment fundraising, if desired.
Please contact us to learn more about how we work with organizations. Please note that MN JCF does not accept unsolicited proposals for grants and does not make discretionary grants.
“For decades, the United Hebrew Brotherhood Cemetery struggled with stewarding its assets in an appropriate and efficient way. The Jewish Community Foundation provided a solution and changed that paradigm completely. The Foundation provided solid advice, a professionally managed investment platform in a cost-efficient way, and a high degree of trust and confidence. Over the last several years, the United Hebrew Brotherhood has benefited significantly from this partnership. The Foundation is a treasured community resource.”
– United Hebrew Brotherhood
The Minnesota Jewish Community Foundation works hand-in-hand with philanthropists who wish to make an immediate difference while also assisting them to plan for ongoing support. The Foundation has its eye on the current and emerging needs of the Jewish community’s institutions, in order to be a helpful source to donors who wish to contribute meaningfully and with purpose.”
– Judy Halper, CEO of Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis
