Who We Are

About Us

We stand as one, so that no one has to stand alone.

The Tacoma Jewish Community Fund is a nonprofit organization registered with the United States Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charitable organization (tax ID 91-1635565).  The Fund is also registered with the Washington State’s Office of the Secretary of State as a non-profit charitable organization authorized for fund raising purposes.  To the extent allowable by law, donations made to the Tacoma Jewish Community Fund are deductible for federal income tax purposes.  The official registered name of the organization is Tacoma UJA/Jewish Community Fund.

The Tacoma Jewish Community Fund is affiliated with the Jewish Federation of North America through its Network of Independent Communities.  For more than half a century – originally to support the United Jewish Appeal– we have been where the south Puget Sound Jewish community responded to local and world-wide Jewish needs.

Except for one part-time administrative assistant, the Tacoma Jewish Community Fund is an all volunteer organization.  More than ninety percent of the funds raised are allocated by the board for charitable purposes.
