The Annual is the Oshman Family JCC’s most innovative community celebration, bringing together friends and supporters for an inspiring evening of belonging and impact.

Are you a start-up founder, investor or C-level executive? Consider the OFJCC Founders Club. The Founders Club is your opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs and investors by supporting the OFJCC with a pledge of 1% of your personal equity upon a liquidity event. There is no cost, and a donation of shares will create significant tax benefits. And it’s great karma to support an important community institution that is central to vibrant Jewish living in Silicon Valley!
Legacy Gifts make a huge impact on the long-term sustainability and financial health of the OFJCC. Pomegranate Legacy Society members make generous provisions for the OFJCC through their wills or estate plans, retirement accounts or through other planned giving methods.
Each cohort of the Chai Giving Circle is a small group of like-minded individuals who appreciate the importance of giving and the power of combined resources and knowledge. The group pools their charitable donations, engages in social justice learning and philanthropic research together, and collaborates in deciding how to allocate their giving.

This year’s OFJCC Giving Circle focused on a powerful theme: Young Adult Jewish Engagement—a crucial area for cultivating the next generation of Jewish leaders. Over several months, a dedicated group of donors came together to explore emerging trends, hear from national and local experts, and engage deeply with many incredible applicant organizations.
Together, we made meaningful investments in programs that are innovating, inspiring and building vibrant Jewish life for young adults. We’re proud of this year’s cohort—and grateful to our Giving Circle participants for their curiosity, commitment and vision. The funds were awarded directly to local Bay Area initiatives, with the following grantees: LUNAR Collective, OneTable, Honeymoon Israel and the OFJCC’s young adult program, ENGAJ.
