The Houston Jewish Community Foundation helps individuals and families alike achieve their philanthropic dreams by enabling them to ensure that the community’s needs are met – now, and for generations to come – in lasting and meaningful ways. Now, thirty-five years later, the Foundation manages over $200 million in assets and has matured into a true community foundation, administering funds donated by individuals and organizations for the benefit of the Greater Houston community, both locally and nationally. The funds are professionally managed to ensure that donors receive the greatest benefit from their charitable contributions and to ensure philanthropic dollars are used to the fullest extent. DiMeo Schneider oversees the prudent management of the funds along with the oversight of our Investment committee. Our donors/fundholders may select from various strategic investment pools. The Foundation has a long-term approach to charitable giving which facilitates the charitable intentions of donors during and beyond their lifetimes. By working with professional advisors, the Foundation can develop innovative philanthropic strategies with optimal tax benefits that help donors create their own personal legacy. The Foundation is structured to receive gifts of stock, life insurance, cash, real estate, and other non-cash assets, and facilitates the creation and administration of donor advised funds, endowments and supporting organizations. The Foundation can offer donors an outlet for community involvement while providing them with significant tax savings and freeing them from record keeping and reporting responsibilities.
