As our Jewish community’s central philanthropic organization, we are dedicated to transparency and a responsible, careful allocations process.
All allocations undergo rigorous processes and procedures to uphold legal guidelines related to conflict of interest, confidentiality and legality.
The Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County is entrusted with managing the philanthropic resources of our community. In keeping with our commitment to accountability and transparency, our audited financial statements and IRS 990 forms are available here.
