Frequently Asked Questions

What is JEWISHcolorado?

JEWISHcolorado is the result of a merger of three historic Colorado organizations: Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado, the Colorado Agency for Jewish Education (CAJE), and the Jewish Community Foundation of Colorado. Their legacies live on in JEWISHcolorado’s three primary areas of work. Our programs transmit timeless knowledge, education, and values. Our grants infuse significant resources into the local, national, and global Jewish communities. And our Philanthropy Department stewards the community’s financial resources for today and tomorrow.

What does The Flagship Fund support?

Gifts to The Flagship Fund are undesignated - they are used immediately to support JEWISHcolorado’s annual operating needs. Your gift to The Flagship Fund supports the areas of greatest need including grantmaking, missions, community convenings, and infrastructure and readiness to respond in times of crisis and natural disasters.
