Message from JCA

Some are unaware that JCA is the primary funding facilitator of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, CSG NSW and AUJS (Australasian Union of Jewish Students) NSW & ACT, assisting these organisations with 90% of their annual operating budgets. In normal times this equates to combined funding of more than $5m. But we are no longer in normal times. All three organisations are working without respite to advocate for our community, against antisemitism and for Israel. Working to keep us physically safe and secure. This work comes with an increasing cost.

Many members of the community have asked how best to support our local front-line organisations like CSG, NSW Jewish Board of Deputies and AUJS. To this end, while JCA has and will continue to utilise reserves to close general and immediate funding gaps, we are now launching a special response fund to further boost these and other constituent organisations’ growing needs in the fight against rising antisemitism and to counter community isolation.

With this need came the establishment of the Never Again Response Appeal, a solely established appeal, separate to JCA’s annual general campaign, which will enable us to fund increased resourcing needs for our frontline advocacy and security organisations.

Our priority at JCA is to ensure that our local Jewish community is safe, united, supported, connected, and represented while we continue to stand with Israel and her people – donate here.

Let’s work together and give together.
Am Yisrael Chai.
