• Emerging & Emergency Jewish Needs Fund

  This fund supports emergencies in our Jewish community, and creative new programs that foster Jewish continuity and engagement. This fund does not make annual distributions, but rather is distributed as needs arise; for example: economic downturns that require support for food and cash assistance;  local, national or international emergencies; and creative new programs.

• Israel Discovery Fund

  Created to send local Jewish and non-Jewish participants on trips to Israel, this Fund fosters positive self-identities and relations with Israel and encourages the celebration of differences among cultures, religions and races. Funds are distributed to 501(c)(3) organizations that in turn support selected individuals to participate in organized trips to Israel. The Israel Discovery Fund was established with distributions from the Shaol & Evelyn Pozez Endowment Fund and Beren Family Scholarship Fund.

• Dr. Sam Goldfein Memorial Fund

  Exemplary leadership, compassion and selflessness are words used when describing Dr. Goldfein. To honor both his life and his work, this Fund was established as a permanent endowment that awards an annual scholarship to a student of the University of Arizona College of Medicine whose character strives to mirror that of Dr. Goldfein, and who has shown exemplary commitment to patient care and service to the community during their time in medical school.
