The backbone of any community or organization is a strong endowment fund, ensuring that the Jewish community remains as vibrant in the future as it is today. Through strategic investment choices, low fees, and experienced management, the Lehigh Valley Jewish Foundation has significantly outperformed benchmarks in recent years, reaching $52 million in 2024.

Housed at the Jewish Federation, the Lehigh Valley Jewish Foundation secures the future of the entire local Jewish community. It administers the majority of endowment funds for all the agencies and synagogues, as well as for hundreds of community members who trust the foundation to ensure the continuity of Jewish life for future generations.

The foundation also serves as the community coordinator for the Life and Legacy program, fostering a planned giving culture that secures after-lifetime contributions for all the agencies. This effort has resulted in over 500 commitments, with an estimated value of more than $16 million.
