June 15, 2010: Danielle Berrin of the Jewish Journal posted an article regarding the Jewish Community Foundation’s recent reception –

…the JCF recognized a diverse bunch at the May 24 reception — from more traditional, established organizations like StandWithUs, the Museum of Tolerance and American Jewish Committee, to newer start-ups aimed at the young professional set, such as the Iranian American activist group 30 Years After and the popular music and events producer JDub Records. The Foundation also supported several special-needs programs, including HaMercaz, which provides special-needs assistance and advocacy, and Nes Gadol, which makes it possible for children on the autism spectrum to celebrate their b’nai mitzvah. Other organizations awarded the $150,000-$250,000 grants were LimmudLA, The Jewish Artists Initiative, Jewish World Watch, BJE, The Jewish Federation and Jumpstart.
