It seems nearly everywhere we turn these days, we see crisis and turmoil.
In an era of financial and geopolitical turbulence, we look for a strong support system to sustain and build on our philanthropic passions.
At the Jewish Community Foundation, we draw on the lessons and experiences generated during a nearly six-decade history of strength, stability and dependability, which guide and inform our responses to this tumult. The Foundation operates consistently, deliberately, and with uncompromising dedication to our core principles of building our community and improving the world around us. We function the same way we have always functioned—in both good times and in the most challenging of times. Consistent with this approach, The Foundation continues to employ a staff of seasoned, committed professionals who have served our donors and the broader community with tremendous dedication and longevity. Our seven-member senior management team has worked at The Foundation for nearly 80 years collectively, averaging more than a decade of service each—one clear reason for our reliability and resilience. We can also comprehend another important reason for The Foundation’s success over the years by quickly surveying the diverse groups of individuals, couples and families profiled in this report—representatives of a much wider audience—who all work with The Foundation in a variety of ways, some for multiple decades, others for only a few years.
All of these donors, board members, professional advisors, and grant recipients have a unique, common bond with The Foundation. We are all inexorably linked together in our mutual desire to enhance, strengthen and enrich our community—not just today, but well into the future. While focused on today’s pressing issues, we are also working to ensure that a vibrant and vital community continues on after we’re long gone. Thus, in their honor—and in honor of all of the other members of our community whom they represent—we dedicate this report’s theme: “For this generation…and generations to come.”
While we do not know precisely what tomorrow will bring, we do know this without a doubt: Having the privilege of working with people like these who are linked with The Foundation in such a profound way ensures that a bright and promising future awaits our community—for generations to come.
Warmest good wishes,
Lorin M. FifeChair
Marvin I. SchotlandPresident & CEO

“In our family, philanthropy is a serious business. We’re quite active with a number of causes, and we use our fund at The Foundation to support
them more efficiently. Knowing that The Foundation’s own grants support some of the same causes we support is very reassuring.”
— Bob & Nita Hirsch, Foundation Donors
THE FOUNDATION 2010 ANNUAL REPORT P2-3
GENEROSITYGenerosity is a core value of The Foundation’s family of donors.
Without our donors’ generosity and concern for their fellow human beings, there would be no Foundation to speak of.

THE FOUNDATION 2010 ANNUAL REPORT P8-9
“We’re fortunate to be a beneficiary of the Gittelson and Joseph Endowment Funds at The Foundation. These funds, which support health and medical research, enabled us to conduct a genetic screening program to help prevent certain diseases in the Persian Jewish community through early identification and treatment. To date, we’ve tested over 1,000 people, and our findings, along with community education, are leading to a better understanding of the diseases and to earlier intervention and prevention.”
— Dr. David Rimoin, Director, Medical Genetics Institute, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
“The Foundation’s significant support from the Lange Endowment Fund has been a major factor behind Leket Israel’s food rescue, gleaning and distribution activities—particularly around the holidays—and our ability to provide crucial nutrition to more than 55,000 needy Israelis every day.”
— Gidi Kroch, CEO, Leket

“I’ve been working with The Foundation for more than 30 years because I know I can place my and my client’s trust in the organization. Ever since I was introduced to The Foundation by a law partner three decades ago, I’ve been advising my Jewish clients to consider The Foundation for estate and charitable gift planning needs.”
— Paul Frimmer, Partner, Loeb & Loeb
THE FOUNDATION 2010 ANNUAL REPORT P10-11
“My estate planning clients have extensive relationships with The Foundation and have learned important lessons about philanthropy. As a result, I decided to open my own donor advised fund at The Foundation. Now when I speak to clients about the benefits of working with The Foundation, I’m speaking both as an advisor and as a donor with valuable, firsthand experience.”
— Scott Mendler, Foundation Donor and Attorney,De Castro, West, Chodorow, Mendler, Glickfeld & Nass, Inc.
RESPONSIVEBeing responsive to the concerns and priorities of our donors,
professional advisors and the multiple generations that they represent is essential to any working relationship that we establish.

Its prominent role in strengthening Jewish L.A. and the community-at-large has been remarkably successful, as evidenced by the wide variety of vital programs
and services seeded and expanded by The Foundation. Because our active donors and first-rate staff ensure that charitable funds are used

THE FOUNDATION 2010 ANNUAL REPORT P18-19
“L.A. has more than 400 gangs with 39,000 members, and gang violence costs taxpayers $2 billion a year. Thanks to a recent Foundation grant, which has allowed us to publish a toolkit to help communities build a gang violence reduction strategy, the Advancement Project is able to reach more stakeholders. We’re involving everyone—parents, kids, teachers, law enforcement, LAUSD, and business leaders—to create safer neighborhoods and reduce gang activity and violence.”
— Connie Rice, Co-Founder & Co-Director, Advancement Project
“The Foundation understands that ensuring Jewish identity and continuity takes creativity and courage, and it has helped launch some of the most exciting new projects in this area. The Foundation’s investment is about more than providing financial resources—it’s about sharing ideas, connecting people, and creating networks of social entrepreneurs to advance Jewish innovation in Los Angeles and to establish our city as a capital for Jewish innovation.”
— (L to R) Josh Avedon and Shawn Landres, Co-Founders, Jewish Jumpstart

the community’s needs today and for generations to come, The Foundation’s investment strategy is focused on diversification and balancing the return on assets within acceptable risk parameters. Our Investment Committee, comprised of experienced professionals who manage portfolios totaling billions of dollars, strives to achieve a portfolio total return that compares favorably to its benchmarks.
Asset AllocationThe Foundation’s Common Investment Pool maintains a balanced portfolio consisting primarily of Foundation and agency endowment funds, and is focused on a long-term strategy of growth and preservation of capital. In 2010, the Common Investment Pool gained 11.8 percent, with assets amounting to $234 million at year-end.
To maximize performance when the market is on the rise, and to limit losses when it is down, the Investment Committee turns to investment management firms with proven expertise in specific asset classes. The Investment Committee—with the assistance of an independent institutional investment consulting firm—routinely assesses changes in financial sectors and market conditions and meets quarterly to evaluate manager performance and to monitor portfolio risk.
Foundation Legacy GrantsIn 2010, The Foundation awarded a total of $5.5 million to seed new programs and to support initiatives that enhance the vitality and health of Jewish L.A. and the community-at-large. In concert with Foundation staff, the Grants Committee helps to ensure that these awards result in the most significant impact possible. This year, funding was provided for Community Grants, Israel Grants, and Restricted Grants.
Community GrantsProviding support to address important issue areas in both the Jewish community and community-at-large, Community Grants are awarded annually through a competitive process. In 2010, more than $1.2 million was distributed in the categories of Cutting Edge and General Community Grants. This amount, combined with one Emergency Grant, brought the 2010 Community Grants’ total to $1.5 million.
2 0 1 0 Y E A R AT A G L A N C EAt the close of 2010, the Jewish Community Foundation’s assets stood at$731 million, an increase of $25 million from 2009. A total of $52 million in grants was distributed to more than 1,800 organizations whose programs span the entire range of philanthropic endeavors. This critical support made significant impact across our community and well beyond, particularly as so many people and organizations continued to face substantial financial hardship due to the sluggish economic recovery.
Donor GiftsDonors contributed a total of $63 million to funds administered by The Foundation in 2010 through a variety of charitable instruments, including Donor Advised Funds, Family Support Organizations, Endowment Funds, and Agency and Synagogue Endowments.
• Contributions to new and existing Donor Advised Funds amountedto $44 million. This helped to raise total assets held in Donor Funds to $346 million.
• $10 million in gifts funded 29 new Donor Advised Funds, Family Support Organizations, Restricted Endowment Funds, and Agency Funds. The Foundation manages more than 1,000 funds.
• The 40 Family Support Organizations affiliated with the Foundation accounted for total assets of $134 million. Additions to new and existing Family Support Organizations totaled $11 million. Family Support Organizations are designed to create a permanent legacy of family philanthropy, carried forth from generation to generation.
Institutional EndowmentsIn 2010, nearly $74 million in Endowment Funds from Jewish organizations were under The Foundation’s management. The largest component—the United Jewish Fund Endowment Fund—supports the Los Angeles Jewish Federation’s annual campaign.

Cutting Edge GrantsTo inspire social entrepreneurs, creative thinkers, and innovative organiza-tions to develop significant, transformative programs for the L.A. Jewish community, The Foundation provides seed funding to launch new, high-impact programs. Through its Cutting Edge Grants Initiative, awards
of up to $250,000 are distributed over a maximum three-year period. In addition to funding, The Foundation’s Grants Department provides technical assistance and guidance to the grant recipients throughout the term of the award, helping to strengthen the program and bolster its outcomes.
In 2010, The Foundation provided nearly $1.1 million for five Cutting Edge Grants, including a $250,000, three-year grant to the Jewish Federation for its Fed Up With Hunger/Netiya program. The program’s goal is to mobilize Jews across L.A. to participate in a coordinated campaign of volunteerism, advocacy, and community service to address the local hunger crisis. The program is establishing a network of Jewish leaders to engage its members in existing efforts to alleviate hunger and will be creating new anti-hunger programming as well.
Additionally, Six Points Fellowship received a $250,000 Cutting Edge Grant to support nine artist fellows over two years working in visual arts, media, dance, and music to produce exhibits, webisodes, films, and perfor-mances that encourage young adults to deepen their connection to Judaism. These nine artists, selected from a competitive pool of 120 applicants, will engage in monthly Jewish learning and professional development work-shops to train fellows as future community leaders.
General Community GrantsThe Foundation demonstrates its commitment to the precept of tikkun olam—repairing the world—by supporting programs in both the Jewish community and the community-at-large. To that end, The Foundation’s General Community Grants provided funding to nonprofits that developprograms designed to successfully address high-priority needs in the community-at-large. In 2010, The Foundation awarded a total of $200,000 in such grants to 10 organizations addressing the issue of gang violence
in L.A. and leveraged its resources with public and private sector dollars already invested in building safer communities. The Advancement Project received a $50,000 General Community Grant for Urban Peace: Safe Passage Program & Prevention/Intervention Toolkit. Its purpose is twofold: (a) To partner with law enforcement, LAUSD safety personnel, and local school and business leaders to create safe walking routes for students from several Belmont/Rampart area schools, and (b) to produce a prevention/intervention toolkit and to provide gang prevention group training sessions to community stakeholders.
Emergency GrantsThe Foundation provided a $250,000 emergency grant for the Jewish Federation’s Emergency Cash Grants Initiative, which offers financial assistance to Jewish families in urgent need of financial support due to the economic downturn. Program partners include Aviva Child and Family Services, Beit T’Shuvah, Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters, Jewish Family Service, Jewish Vocational Service, Milken JCC, National Council of Jewish Women L.A., and Tomchei Shabbos.
Israel GrantsThe Foundation’s Israel Grants support organizations addressing issues related to Jewish identity as well as those working to impact economic development and self-sufficiency. These grants provide up to $250,000 over three years to organizations in Israel. Nearly $1.2 million was awarded in Israel Grants in 2010.
One recipient, Ono Academic College, received a $250,000 Israel Grant for its Scholarship Program for High Demand Academic Degrees and Employment Placement for Ethiopian Israelis. It provides financial support and job placement assistance to Ethiopian Israeli students in undergraduate degree programs, allowing them to work in the fields of law and health-care and in graduate degree programs for business management. These graduates represent a new generation of educated Ethiopian leaders in the Israeli workforce.

Additionally, the Daniel Centers for Progressive Judaism received a $150,000 grant to fund Jewish Soul Overhaul to bring progressive Jewish values, culture, and identity into secular public schools. The program is training more than 100 teachers over three years at several elementary schools in Tel Aviv and Jaffa to integrate Jewish education into their class-room curriculums and is bringing more Jewish tradition and ritual into the lives of students and their families.
Restricted GrantsTo fulfill donors’ philanthropic goals of supporting specific issue areas or organizations and programs they are passionate about, The Foundation works with funders and their families to create Restricted Endowment Funds. In 2010, these funds distributed $2.6 million in grants to meet a broad range of needs locally, nationally, and in Israel. Funds were directed to support Jewish education, Jewish identity, social service needs, and medical assistance through such organizations in the local community as Builders of Jewish Education, Jewish Family Service, Jewish Vocational Service, Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters, American Jewish University, as well as the Leo Baeck Educational Center in Israel. For example, more than $330,000 from a restricted endowment fund created by the late Belle and Harry Krupnick went to dedicate the new Los Angeles Valley College’s Media Arts Center, providingstudents with much-needed practical experience in technology and media production.
Donor GrantsIn 2010, The Foundation distributed $46 million in donor-recommended grants to more than 1,800 nonprofit organizations for programs that span the human lifecycle.
