2026 Annual Campaign

Yom HaShoah

This fund can be used to assist with expenses of Jewish leadership program expenses for lay and professional staff development.

The intention is to use the annual spend of the permanent fund for expenses of Donor Stewardship including but not limited to expenses incurred in developing donor stories, efforts to connect donors to causes and projects and other donor recognition efforts including annual recognition events. As noted before, spending of the funds will be approved annually by the TJCF board through its grant process.

Jewish Toledo is working with Jewish Federations of North America and our core partners to support victims of terror, address the unprecedent levels of trauma, and aid to rebuild damaged infrastructure caused by the horrific attack by Hamas.

Jewish Toledo has an exciting opportunity to receive grants totaling $250,000 from Jewish Federations of North America LiveSecure Matching Security Program over the next three years. To receive this funding, JFGT must raise $85,000 in each of the next three years to match the national grant. To meet the match requirement, our community is launching the LiveSecure Matching Security Campaign. Every dollar donated and designated for security up to $250,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the generous grant, effectively doubling the impact of your contribution. The LiveSecure Matching Security Campaign is endorsed by the lay leaders and clergy of Chabad of Toledo, Congregation B’nai Israel of Toledo, Congregation Etz Chayim, and Temple Shomer Emunim. JFGT has committed to directly funding at least $50,000 collectively, in each of the next three years, to these partners for some of their security expenses.

Established in 2006, the Jewish Experience Fund subsidizes Jewish Summer (overnight) Camp, Teen Leadership Programs (BBYO, USY, Young Judea, NIFTY, Maccabi, etc.) and Teen Israel Experiences.

The Ahava Program, of Jewish Senior, Family, and Social Services, supports and enhances the lives of adults and children with Toledo connections, that have special needs. Through AHAVA, Toledo Jewish Community Foundation awards annual subventions up to $1,500 per individual to fund therapies, equipment, and continuing education.
