Mission The mission of the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Kansas City is to promote the practice of tzedakah (charity) and the pursuit of tikkun olam (repairing the world) by serving as the advocate for planned giving and the central resource for personalized charitable funds for individuals, families, and organizations in the community.
Vision The vision of the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Kansas City is to foster, sustain and ensure a strong and vibrant Jewish community for today and for generations to come.
We regret any errors or omissions. Celebrating Silver Linings
Dear Friends,
This has been a year like no other. Few could have imagined where we would be when we celebrated the Foundation’s 60th anniversary in last year’s Annual Report. For many, if not most of us, we have experienced, and are still experiencing, a once in a lifetime crisis. It would be easy to become overwhelmed by the sense of loss. And yet...
Instead of dwelling on what we’ve lost, we’ve marshaled our resources, re-doubled our commitment to our community and to one another, and found silver linings among the clouds. This time has taught us many valuable lessons - gratitude, fragility tempered with wisdom and resilience, and the enduring importance of community for our collective survival. We are all in this together.
The Foundation has been a strong and steady guiding force through this trial. In 2020, we reached an all-time high in asset value and distributed more than $28.6 million to non-profits throughout the country, including $936,000 for direct COVID-19-related assistance. We found new ways to connect with generous givers – reaching well beyond our region – and helped numerous charitable organizations navigate the difficult financial conditions that the pandemic created. Because of your support and with the help of committed Board and staff members, the Foundation served a critical role in making sure community needs were met and core functions continued without significant interruption.
Thank you for your continued confidence in us and may we all look forward to a bright and healthy future together!
Alice Jacks Achtenberg Lauren Mattleman Hoopes President Executive Director
jcfkc.org | 02 Meeting the Pandemic with Generosity and Resilience
During the unprecedented and challenging time that was 2020, we witnessed the strength and resilience of our community as it came together to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Foundation fundholders have always been some of our community’s most generous supporters and they rose to the occasion by donating both time and financial resources to help so many affected by the crisis. Foundation staff worked closely with Jewish communal agency leadership to help them navigate the challenging time by providing expert guidance on connecting with donors, accessing small business loans and offering stewardship best practices. Though we may have been physically isolated, our Foundation Family came together as members of a vibrant and caring community working collectively to make a positive impact.

CELEBRATING SILVER LININGS “Our silver lining is our grandson, Jonah Stein! He had a timely Bar Mitzvah project idea and ran with it. Jonah and his family have worked diligently through the pandemic, beading and selling MASKerAIDs (lanyards to hold face masks), with all the proceeds going to the JFS Food Pantry. Jonah has raised over $20,000 and we are so proud of his dedication to stick with the project helping so many.” - Esther Stein Foundation Leadership

05 | jcfkc.org Continuum of Giving Programs
The Foundation is dedicated to providing philanthropic education and engagement for givers of all ages. Our Foundation staff is highly trained in facilitating multigenerational family philanthropy and works with families to clarify charitable priorities, transmit philanthropic values, and have meaningful and productive conversations about giving. The Foundation’s “Continuum of Giving” programs enhance philanthropy at every age and stage of life.
B’nai Tzedek B’nai Tzedek, the first program in the continuum, introduces B’nai Mitzvah-age youth to charitable giving by allowing them to open their own philanthropic funds at the Foundation. Teens and their families make a minimum donation of $125 to open a fund and the Foundation contributes $375, for a total fund balance of at least $500. Every year participants may grant 10% of their fund balance to a Jewish organization of their choice. For greater engagement, teens may join the B’nai Tzedek Youth Council, a cadre that meets once a month to discuss philanthropic issues and plan the B’nai Tzedek Shuk, the Foundation’s annual youth philanthropy fair. The 2019-2020 B’nai Tzedek Youth Council
CELEBRATING SILVER LININGS New B’nai Tzedek Fundholders in 2020 “The B’nai Tzedek Youth Council Lily Blinn worked hard this year, creating a Miles Cohen Frank Goldstein virtual event, online meetings, and Drew Liss delivering invites. Although it was Nina McNay difficult, I had fun hanging out with Skyler Penner my friends, and giving people an Nicola Sadun Gabrielle Sosland opportunity to donate to good causes. Maggie Wieland It was both challenging and fun, so I can’t wait to do it again next year!” - Ben Fine
jcfkc.org | 06 Continuum of Giving Programs continued
J-LEAD: Jewish Leadership Education Action & Development The next program in the Continuum of Giving is J-LEAD, the Foundation’s giving circle for young adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s. J-LEAD makes grants from funds collected by its members ($500 charitable contribution for membership) as well as matching funds from the Jewish Community Foundation’s Community Legacy Fund and other generous Foundation donors. J-LEAD members make a significant impact on the community by pooling resources and making collective decisions about how to allocate funds in the most effective manner. J-LEAD members also come together to volunteer at many of the projects they fund.
CELEBRATING SILVER LININGS 2020 J-LEAD Members “Countless individuals and Ben & Lauren Abelson organizations within Greater Alex & Kristin Brown Kansas City were (and continue Michael & Lindsay Fineman to be) impacted by the negative Bradley & Taly Friedman Bob Gershon implications of the pandemic. Joshua Hoffman & Jeramy Zimmerman Through quick action, the J-LEAD Steven Krigel & Ilana Silverstein program pivoted to a virtual Doug McNay & Dawn Gale format this year. We maximized Joshua & Shannon Maker the impact of our contributions Daniel & Catherine Singer by supporting organizations that Louis & Carly Stein had critical needs during the Victor & Annie Wishna pandemic. While our members Kris & Lindsey Zeid were not able to meet in person this year (as we normally do), we 2020 J-LEAD Grants were able to adapt during these Jewish Family Services: Key Products for the Food unprecedented times and fulfill the Pantry mission of our great program and Jewish Federation: Coronavirus Relief Fund the mitzvah of tzedakah.” Jewish Vocational Service: Global Gardens Staff KU Hillel: Wellness Initiative - Kris Zeid Torah Learning Center: Kosher Meals on Wheels Village Shalom: Victory Disinfectant Sprayer
07 | jcfkc.org Create a Jewish Legacy The ultimate component of the Continuum of Giving is the Create a Jewish Legacy (CJL) program. CJL is the Foundation’s effort to help secure the long-term future of community programs and institutions through an emphasis on planned giving. Goals of the program include securing planned gift commitments, building and maintaining strong relationships between donors and organizations, developing leaders, and building public awareness of planned giving. See page 22 for a list of legacy giving donors.
Through the generous support of the Sam and Lucy Gould Fund (which was created through a planned gift itself), the Create a Jewish Legacy initiative has been bringing together professionals, lay leaders and clergy from synagogues and agencies for collaborative learning and to share best practices. A playful nod to Sam’s career in the parking lot industry, the Parking Lot Lunch series in particular has presented numerous industry experts since its inception in 2017. The virtual nature of the series in 2020 allowed the Foundation to host national author, mentor and speaker Rabbi Daniel Cohen (pictured, right) from Stamford, CT. With his humor, wisdom and insight, Rabbi Cohen offered a unique perspective and experience regarding legacy. His presentation, At the Heart of What Matters: Helping Others Fulfill Their Legacy, shared a valuable message on the purpose-driven work of planned gift development.
CELEBRATING SILVER LININGS “JCF has been a great resource for us as we reviewed and revised our charitable giving plans. Their expertise and knowledge helped clarify the work done by our attorney and helped us formulate our long-term plan. We are confident that JCF will fulfill our wishes and continue to support community institutions important to us.”
- Rachel Krantz & Edward Goldstein

jcfkc.org | 12 CELEBRATING SILVER LININGS “We have found that the pandemic has brought us closer to friends and family rather than separated us. It is different certainly, but we have connected with more family and friends more often than before. Partly it is time and partly it is technology, but mostly it is the need to connect while you are isolated at home. We have connected with old college and high school friends and family we haven’t seen for years. We do a daily Zoom call with one of our sons who we used to talk to once or twice a month. We have a regular Shabbat Zoom call with 5 couples and do Zoom dinners with several other groups. And the ability to attend Board meetings remotely is a pleasure. Since we can’t travel, our budget finally balances. It has been fun and rewarding.” - Gail & Gary Weinberg

CELEBRATING SILVER LININGS “In a challenging year for our community, our country and the entire world, Jewish Federation celebrates the silver lining that our community dug deep and provided extra generosity—as it often has during difficult times—to ensure we could care for the most vulnerable and, at the same time, continue to engage families, build community, and strengthen Jewish education and identity. This extra generosity allowed critical support of older adults, those who are food insecure, and those struggling with mental health challenges and/or financial crises.”

jcfkc.org | 28 Menorah Heritage Foundation
The Menorah Heritage Foundation (MHF) was founded in April 2016 as the result of a merger between the Jewish Heritage Foundation Supporting Organization and the Menorah Legacy Foundation. Both predecessor foundations were created from the roots of Menorah Hospital. The Menorah Heritage Foundation is a supporting organization of the Jewish Community Foundation. Today MHF remains deeply committed to Menorah Hospital’s tradition of healing and compassionate service and a mission to support health and well-being in our Kansas City community. Jewish tradition holds that every act of goodness contributes to the ultimate repair of the world (tikkun olam), and that feeding the hungry, healing the sick and comforting the bereaved are building blocks for redemption. This tradition guides MHF’s work as a community funder.
Menorah Heritage Foundation’s grantmaking is guided by the following principles: perpetuating the Jewish community; addressing critical and severe greater Kansas City and Jewish community needs; anticipating and adapting to changing needs; and investing in transformational change.
The Menorah Heritage Foundation maintains four distinct annual grant making cycles which fund both proactive, transformational strategies and safety net needs: Healthy for Life, Jewish Community, Unrestricted Operating Support and Aging in Community. Since 1994, the Menorah Heritage Foundation and its predecessors have distributed nearly $70,000,000 to organizations in our community, with about two-thirds of funds going to Jewish agencies and programs.
MHF grants of over $2,300,000 in 2020 supported over 75 different organizations, including: Ad Hoc Group Against Crime; ArtsTech; Calvary Community Outreach; Child Abuse and Prevention Association; Cross-Lines Community Outreach; Don Bosco Centers; El Centro; Food Equality Initiative; Grandview Assistance Program; Guadalupe Centers; High Aspirations; Hope Faith; Jewish Family Services; Jewish Vocational Service; KC Mothers in Charge; Northland Neighborhoods; Rebuilding Together; Sheffield Place; Shawnee Community Services; and Village Shalom.
