Total Choice Tzedakah

Home > Donate to Federation

Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado's mission is to build and sustain Jewish life in Colorado, Israel and around the world. We have introduced Total Choice Tzedakah®, a donor-designated program that allows donors to choose from a variety of defined Jewish philanthropic products.

Total Choice Tzedakah® Core Funds

The Federation Flagship Fund supports ongoing Jewish needs locally, in Israel and around the world.

The Israel/Global Fund raises donations to provide:
• Rescue: services for the Jews remaining in Ethiopia to help relocate and resettle them in Israel.
• Relief: for poor, elderly Jews in the former Soviet Union who subsist on pensions of less than $30 per month, which is divided between food, medicine and heat.
• Revitalization: of Jewish identity in Hungary and throughout the former Soviet Union by fostering core Jewish literacy and restoring a sense of pride in being Jewish.
• Readiness: for emergency relief in Israel and other vulnerable locations in cases of war, terrorism or national disaster.
• Real-Life Experiences: in Israel and other countries through the Israel Study Tour (IST), and other Federation sponsored missions.
• Relationships: Between Denver/Boulder Residents and Federation’s partnership communities Ramat Negev, Israel and Hungary.

The Denver Community Fund is designed for individuals who seek to focus their support on Jewish needs in the Greater Denver area.

The Boulder Community Fund is designed for those who choose to focus their support on Jewish needs in Boulder.
