Who We Are

Meet the dedicated team and passionate community: The heart and soul behind Jewish Philanthropies of Southern Arizona's impactful work

What is JPSA?

Comprised of the Federation and Jewish Community Foundation (JCF), JPSA supports and sustains our entire community. We are here for you – our valued donors and fundholders, organizations, agencies, non-profits, and synagogues.

JPSA is about outreach, Jewish continuity, Jewish community security, and addressing the areas our community recognizes as high priorities such as Jewish engagement, Jewish education, caring for others, and tikkun olam (repairing the world).

Our Vision

To fully maximize the potential impact of Jewish philanthropy, both in the present and for future generations.

This involves not only increasing the amount of funds donated, but also exploring new and innovative ways to allocate those funds towards meaningful and impactful causes.

By broadening our scope and remaining open to new approaches, we can ensure that our philanthropic endeavors have a lasting and meaningful impact on the Jewish community and beyond.
