From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jewish Communal Appeal (JCA) is a prominent Jewish charitable organisation based in New South Wales. Founded in 1967,[1] the organisation raises communal funds for distribution among Jewish Day Schools, social service organisations, the NSW Community Security Group, and other Jewish community bodies.[2][3][4] In some cases, local Jewish organisations, such as the Sydney Jewish Museum, did not immediately join the JCA funding network, and instead waited years before joining and receiving funding.[5]

In addition to supporting NSW organisations, the JCA also supports Jewish community institutions in the Australian Capital Territory.[6] In total, the JCA provides funding for 24 local organisations.[7] The JCA has sponsored community studies of Jews in New South Wales and Australia-wide.[8][9] The JCA model of charitable distribution is credited as improving outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
