Jewish Communal Appeal

Last updated

Jewish Communal Appeal (JCA) is a prominent Jewish charitable organisation based in New South Wales. Founded in 1967, [1] the organisation raises communal funds for distribution among Jewish Day Schools, social service organisations, the NSW community security group, and other Jewish community bodies. [2] [3] [4] In some cases, local Jewish organisations, such as the Sydney Jewish Museum, did not immediately join the JCA funding network, and instead waited years before joining and receiving funding. [5]

In addition to supporting NSW organisations, the JCA also supports Jewish community institutions in the Australian Capital Territory. [6] T In total, the JCA provides funding for 24 local organisations. [7] And the JCA has sponsored community studies of Jews in New South Wales and Australia-wide. [8] [9] The JCA model of charitable distribution is credited as improving outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. [2]
