Why Give Through a DAF?

  • Simple and Flexible

    Giving through your DAF is easy. You can recommend a one-time or recurring grant directly from your fund.

  • Your Dollars Are Already Set Aside

    You’ve already made the thoughtful decision to put these charitable funds aside in your DAF. That means giving today puts your funds to work now without impacting your wallet. Those funds will allow JSSA to meet the needs of the community and support those who are facing challenges, transitions and seeking support to heal.

  • Your DAF Gift Fuels Hope and Healing

    Your gift powers JSSA’s vital services: mental health counseling, hospice care, family support, and assistance for Holocaust survivors living in our community.

Your Impact

Every DAF gift helps JSSA:

  • Provide 30,000+ hours of care each month to Holocaust survivors.
  • Support hundreds of children and teens through school-based mental health programs.
  • Offer compassionate hospice care so families can find comfort during life’s most difficult moments.
  • Operate the J-Caring Community Support Line, connecting neighbors to essential resources.

Your Donor-Advised Fund gift is more than a transaction—it’s a lifeline. Thank you for putting your philanthropic dollars to work in service of your neighbors, and for standing with JSSA to strengthen our community!
