MISSION

     The Knoxville Jewish Community Family of Funds, created under the auspices of the Knoxville Jewish Federation in September 1999, serves to preserve and strengthen the Jewish Community. 
     Through the development and management of endowment, long-term, and donor-advised funds, the KJCFF strives to improve Jewish Community life and local community activities, as well as regional and national activities, and to protect Jews in need of social services everywhere.  Also, it allows the Jewish Community to maintain its strong ties to Israel and the Jewish people throughout the world.
     These funds support activities such as scholarships, religious, educational and cultural programs for children, youth, adults and the elderly, social service needs for individuals and families, and other activities promoting and strengthening the Jewish community and the general community of East Tennessee.   
     The KJCFF endeavors to increase the Jewish Community's philanthropic capacity by working with the East Tennessee Foundation and the Knoxville Jewish Alliance as a supporting organization.  It identifies, cultivates, and solicits individuals, families, corporations and agencies to establish funds with the KJCFF.  KJCFF also endeavors to build permanent endowments of annual campaign gifts to various Jewish organizations and funds that support the infrastructure necessary to develop and deliver the services and programs of the Jewish Community.
