What We Do

About the Initiative

The Jews of Color Initiative is a national effort focused on building and advancing the professional, organizational and communal field for Jews of Color.

The Initiative focuses on grantmaking, research and field building, and community education. We host the nation’s first-ever philanthropic and capacity building fund expressly dedicated to supporting Jews of Color.

What do we mean by Field Building?

  • Our “Field” is the eco-system of organizations, efforts and individuals we share as Jews of Color that are part of the larger universe of our Jewish community.

  • A thriving Field has easily accessible, elegantly navigable pathways that purposefully connect a community of organizations and individuals to one another.

  • When building our Field, we seek a community of organizations and individuals that center Jews of Color and advance racial justice in our community, strengthening the entire Jewish ecosystem.

  • Among a broad range of professionals, programs and people, we hold central the values of racial justice and equity, our multifaceted and diverse identities, and our passion for being Jewish, however we express it.
