FUNDING SOURCES

JFS is funded through a combination of community donations, grants, and fundraising activities. The majority of support comes from local donors, reflecting strong community investment in our programs. Additional funding comes from foundations, government, and other grants, which help supplement our capacity to respond to urgent needs. JFS also hosts annual and periodic fundraising events that generate revenue to sustain programs and respond flexibly to emerging community challenges.

JFS benefits from administrative support provided by the JCC-Federation of San Luis Obispo, including oversight from the Treasurer, bookkeeping, and program administration. This infrastructure ensures responsible fiscal management and accountability for all funding sources.
