How do we support non-profit clients?

At MN JCF, we are building a better world through tikkun olam. As one of the largest repositories and conduits for Jewish charitable giving in the Upper Midwest, MN JCF provides the long-term financial underpinnings that ensure our Jewish community’s future continuity.

MN JCF manages over $53 million in endowment and custodial assets for 17 non-profit organizations in Minnesota. We partner with non-profits to build their capacity and to uplift their missions, determine optimal fund structure, investment strategy, and provide professional investment management services. Together with our outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO), SEI, we provide world-class investment expertise.

Having your non-profit’s and donors’ endowment funds at MN JCF provides your organization with a source of income to support mission-related projects beyond day-to-day operations.

Suite of Services - Highlights

We act as your admin back office - lifting the administrative burden off the organization’s staff so they can focus on the mission of your organization.

We hold and grow endowment funds for organizations, helping you have a sustained and perpetual stream of income in a cost-effective and collaborative way. One of our investment options includes alternatives, which may be out of reach of some non-profits but can be accessed through MN JCF. We invest this money so your organization’s annual fundraising and budget start with money that comes from your own endowment funds. That way your organization is starting ahead every year.

We provide personal service by people who know your organization. You receive the highest level of personal and timely customer service by people who know your organization, its culture, staff, and mission, its importance to the community, and goals.

We consistently strive to match-make our individual and family clients (based on their unique charitable interests) with community needs and organizations. Specifically focusing on putting our Agency clients in front of our individual and family donors as much as possible.

When you have a fund at our Foundation, we provide an entire suite of philanthropic services, including advising on endowment fundraising, if desired.
