Mission

WE CONVENE, CONNECT, INVEST, AND PROTECT JEWISH LIFE IN COLORADO, ISRAEL, AND AROUND THE WORLD.

  • We protect a growing and vibrant Jewish community in Colorado with our advocacy, grantmaking, and actions. JEWISHcolorado secured Nonprofit Security Grants to assist Colorado organizations with safety and security, and our regional security advisors have provided safety and security training to more than 6,500 individuals at more than 60 agencies, institutions, and synagogues across the state as well as providing dozens of site security assessments to Jewish organizations and synagogues across the state at no cost. Our Jewish Community Relations Council partnered with the Governor's Office to write a proclamation condemning antisemitism; and the JCRC responded to antisemitic and anti-Israel statements in K-12 schools, universities, city councils, and the state legislature. Our Israel emergency fundraising is sent to JFNA which distributes those dollars to organizations working on the ground in Israel, including The Jewish Agency, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, and hundreds of partner organizations and non-governmental organizations operating on the frontlines in Israel.

    Expenses $8,796,840 · Grants $6,828,488

  • We invest in the Jewish future through mission trips to Israel, the Joyce Zeff Israel Study Tour, the Jewish Student Connection program, and individual philanthropy. Our Real Estate & Construction Network invested in a better tomorrow for Denver and Colorado. The Jewish Community Foundation provides a personalized approach and a variety of options for charitable and planned giving. We offer trusted, donor centered planning with individuals, families, and organizations to bring philanthropic visions to life. Through our management of donor advised funds and endowments, we partner with individuals and families to develop a meaningful charitable gift plan, helping to educate the next generation about tzedakah and to support the Jewish causes that our fundholders care so deeply about. We also help nonprofit organizations grow charitable assets to meet current and future needs.

    Expenses $6,113,029 · Grants $4,982,601 · Revenue $1,052,533

  • We convene and connect Jewish groups and individuals. JEWISHcolorado convened the community at multiple large events, including: From Darkness to Light, a Signature Event, and Celebrate Israel. PJ Library sent out more than 5,000 books each month to subscribers in Colorado, and hosted more than 150 programs and gatherings for nearly 3,300 families. Jewish Explorers had 2,044 young student engagements, there were 1,045 Young Adult program engagements, Shinshinim had more than 43,000 interactions with participants, the Shlicha had more than 3,100 engagements, and Jewish Student Connection had engagement with more than 600 teens at 16 high schools providing a safe and welcoming space for Jewish students across the state.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
