Meeting The Moment - Jewish Family Service of Greater Dallas

Meeting The Moment
Building the Foundation for the Future

Since 1950, Jewish Family Service of Greater Dallas has served as an open door to all in need. As we celebrate JFS’s 75th anniversary, we invite everyone to join us in honoring our legacy and shaping the future. Our Meeting the Moment campaign is a catalyst for making our vision of self-sufficiency and well-being for all a reality.

To build a foundation for the next 75 years, JFS will expand our campus with a new facility, allowing us to serve more clients, and grow our endowment to ensure the long-term viability of Jewish Family Service of Greater Dallas. These changes begin with reaching our $40 million campaign goal.

Campaign Breakdown

We invite you to help shape the future of JFS and the Greater Dallas community by investing in our $40 million comprehensive annual campaign which will fuel innovation, drive expansion, and secure sustainability for our essential services for the next 75 years.

INNOVATION
Whole-Person Care
Investment – $6,000,000

Adding primary care services will enable us to provide whole-person care. These funds cover construction, equipment, and staffing for the first medical clinic until receiving FQHC status and access to enhanced fee-for-service revenue. Funds will also be used towards providing the full breadth and depth of our integrated services as we build sustainable structures.

EXPANSION
New Campus
Investment – $28,000,000

Expanding our services starts with purchasing and renovating a new facility. Almost four times larger, the new building will include a second medical clinic, dental office, a sensory gym, client meeting and conference rooms, and an enhanced food pantry designed to better serve our community.

ENDOWMENT
Ensuring the Future
Investment – $6,000,000

The JFS Foundation ensures the long-term viability of our agency through planned giving and endowments. By investing in our endowment and growing the assets to over $15,000,000 by 2028, the foundation will increase its annual distributions and support the agency’s needs for years to come.
