What it does
The Jews of Color Initiatives mission is to advance racial equity in the U.S. Jewish community by centering the leadership of Jews of Color and ensuring that our communities and institutions reflect the multiracial reality of the Jewish people.
Grantmaking: the JoCI supports organizations and initiatives through grantmaking to support prototypes, leadership development, and capacity building, benefitting Jews of Color and the broader Jewish communal ecosystem in the U.S.
Research / Other: The JoCIs major research projects, Counting Inconsistencies (2019) and Beyond the Count (2011), continue to inform understanding of the experiences of Jews of Color and support community education and learning.
Hubs: JoCIs programmatic offerings include JoC Professional Networks in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and New York, supporting leadership pathways by fostering connections in the Jewish communal sector through community learning and professional development.
