Public foundation established through the merger of The Shefa Fund and Jewish Fund for Justice. Mobilize the resources of American Jewry to combat the root causes of domestic economic and social injustice. 

Purpose
The Jewish Funds for Justice creates a just, fair, and compassionate America.
Values
Jewish Funds for Justice is guided by the following values:
Hope/ Tikvah – We create a better future because we believe that progress is always possible and within our capacity to realize. 
Courage/ Ometz – We take the necessary risks in pursuit of our purpose because our cause is righteous and just. 
Humility/ Anavah – We behave with integrity as a reliable partner, ally, colleague, and friend because we cannot achieve our vision by acting alone. 
Dignity/ Tzelem Elohim – We protect the rights of individuals to live in freedom and have access to opportunity because every person is a unique and infinitely valuable being. 
Abundance/ Shefa - We act as stewards of our resources because we are obligated by the knowledge that our prosperity is not by our hands alone. 
Community/ Kehilah – We build relationships where people help each other because individuals have a profound responsibility for the wellbeing of the whole. 
Our Vision
In the American Jewish community, JFSJ will help to expand the Jewish progressive base and increase its capacity for creating economic justice while partnering with established institutions to engage them on issues of common concern. In the broader American community, JFSJ will strengthen the progressive capacity of low income communities and organizations while being a leader in reestablishing the Jewish community’s role as an anchor and ally to the social change movement.
