Our Model of Giving
The Lifchitz Family Fund is a democratic giving circle. When extended family members of the Lifchitz clan pool some of their resources, we create a tzedekah powerhouse. This family collective giving fund model is a new structure in the philanthropic world - a combination of the Family Foundation structure, and the Tzedekah Collective or Giving Circle. In addition to encouraging a tzedekah consciousness, through collective giving this philanthropy increases the power of each individual's money, as pooled funds can leverage matching support and generate large financial returns, thus enabling the every day person to engage in and make a difference in current events.
Most importantly, however, the process of establishing and running a democratic family giving circle strengthens the connection of individuals to their values, to others in the family, and honors family ancestors.

Please think of our Lifchitz Family Fund when you are celebrating a simcha, remembering someone you’ve lost, or on other important occasions.
