AT THE HEART OF IT ALL
As we continue to grow our partnerships and expand our impact across the city of San Francisco, we look to our community for inspiration, dedication, and ingenuity. You are at the heart of what makes the JCCSF a meaningful, joyous, and inclusive hub for our growing community.
Looking to the future, we are excited to expand our impact and to continue innovating our programming. This past year we proudly came to together for a community-wide Shabbat, celebrated Jewish holidays through family-friendly events like Purimpalooza, and helped children throughout San Francisco with our Citywide program.
In the coming year and beyond, we are excited to not only expand our programming but also increase our role and visibility as a contributor to the cultural fabric of San Francisco and the welfare of our city.
Thank you for joining us in this valuable mission. You can show your support now by donating to JCCSF’s At the Heart of it All campaign.
OUR STRATEGIC PLAN
In March 2023, our Board of Directors completed a strategic visioning and planning process that will guide the JCCSF through its next years of innovative programming, thoughtful community building and successful, sustainable growth. We’re excited to share the details with you.
Areas of Impact
How We’re Making a Difference
The Department of Children, Youth and Their Families renewed a $1.5 million grant over 5 years to sustain JCCSF Citywide, a program that last year provided instruction in art, dance and sports to 1,444 young students attending historically underserved public schools in San Francisco.
We're all about connection – to Jewish values, Jewish life, and each other. From spirited preschoolers to lifelong learners and fitness enthusiasts, 4,000 people of all ages and life stages walked through the doors of the JCCSF every day. We doubled down as a central hub for San Francisco's Jewish community.
Over 300 little ones at the JCCSF's three preschools explored new interests, found best buddies and discovered the magic of play! 60 students received financial assistance, totaling over $650,000.
Donor spotlight
The JCCSF has been part of Alex Austin’s life since age 29, when Alex worked at the Front Desk while attending law school. Alex remarks that the JCCSF has benefitted their entire family, from teen programs for son, Amir, to holiday celebrations such as Tashlich on the Beach. 'Our family has made a lifetime of friends at the JCCSF!'

We love our donors & volunteers
“We are very committed to fostering community and have found Helen Diller Family Preschool (and the larger JCCSF) to be a true center of our community and sense of belonging. Participating in Parent Council has allowed us to be active in our children’s daily lives at school, connect with families across the classrooms and help shape the community and relationships that make this place special.” – Jen Peck and Debbie Tuttle, 2020-21 Parent Council Co-Presidents
