On the following pages, you’ll get a glimpse of some remarkable people The Foundation partners with to strengthen our community. They represent the many noble virtues and values of the people we engage, advise, and collaborate with during our ongoing work. what virtues and values resonate most with you? We encourage you to learn more about how The Foundation is the ideal place to transform your virtues and values into a meaningful legacy of tzedakah.
(L to R) Marvin I. Schotland, President & CEO and Lawrence Rauch, Chair
One person whose virtues and values deserve special recognition is Lorin Fife, former Chair of The Foundation from 2009 –2012. Thanks to his
generous spirit, abundant wisdom, and keen foresight, The Foundation was able to accomplish
its mission during the most difficult economic period in modern American history.

To Our Community:
Thanks to a vital, ongoing partnership with our donors, the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles completed an extremely gratifying year in 2012. The Foundation and its family of donors distributed grants totaling $53 million. Donor inflows to funds at The Foundation last year approximated $77 million. Reflecting our continued financial strength and stability, The Foundation at year end managed total charitable assets of $812 million, a historic high.
These numbers, however impressive, reflect only one of our strengths. Inarguably, the most compelling aspect of The Foundation is our relationship with our donors expressed through their humanity and good works—virtues and values, which provide a most fitting theme for this year’s annual report.
These same virtues and values are present throughout our Foundation culture, creating something akin to a human tapestry—exemplified by our donors, who are continually evolving, ever purposeful, and always adding richness and vibrancy to our community. The Foundation provides a pivotal connection between our family of 1,000-plus donors and hundreds of grant recipients who “weave” the programs and initiatives that enhance life in our communities locally, nationally, and in Israel. Year after year, and from generation to generation, The Foundation’s own grantmaking embraces inventive problem solving to meet pressing community needs. In addition to addressing core critical issues, the community
recognizes us as a place to bring forward-thinking ideas, and we are proud to have seeded many breakthrough projects. Likewise, our donors often approach us with gift planning challenges, and we welcome the opportunity to provide effective and creative solutions.
To support our donors’ ongoing desire to leave an indelible mark through their philanthropy, our Center for Designed Philanthropy encourages them to take a wide-angle view and to define issues in the ways they believe important. For example, a family’s charitable virtues and values often differ across generations, and the Center strives to build consensus, unify their efforts, and magnify the impact of their giving.
As we report on this past year’s highlights, we also look ahead to next year when we mark The Foundation’s 60th anniversary. It would be difficult to imagine this milestone occasion without the enduring support of our Board of Trustees, our donors, their professional advisors, our dedicated staff, and the many grant recipients with whom we collaborate. The Foundation continues to grow and excel through these vital partnerships. We invite you to join us.

to launch new, high-impact programs. Through its Cutting Edge Grants Initiative, awards of up to $250,000 are distributed over a maximum three-year period. In addition to the funding itself, The Foundation’s grants professionals also provide special assistance and guidance to the grant recipients throughout the duration of the grant award to help strengthen the program and its outcomes.
In 2012, The Foundation provided $1.1 million for five Cutting Edge Grants, including a $175,000, three-year grant to The Jewish Federation for presenTensela: The Federation’s social entrepreneurs Fellowship, to recruit, train, and mentor 36 Jewish entrepreneurial fellows to help them launch start-up ventures leading to new pathways for Jewish engagement and community building. The goal is to provide these young social entrepreneurs with the leadership skills, business tools, and connections—through a Jewish lens—that turn ideas into ventures that will engage, inspire, and transform the Los Angeles Jewish community and beyond. Additionally, a $225,000 three-year Cutting Edge Grant was awarded to remember us for The righteous Conversations project to bring together 400 teenage students with Holocaust survivors to engage in meaningful dialogue focused on personal stories of social injustice. The program, piloted at Harvard-Westlake School in 2011, relates personal stories from the Holocaust to modern day injustices and enables students to improve their skills as social activists. Students will also create public service announcements to bring greater awareness to pressing social issues.
“What was most enjoyable last year were the many opportunities to meet with Foundation donors and hear their uplifting stories of family and philanthropy.”
