' The Shefa Fund is a national Jewish non-profit organization established in 1988 and based in Philadelphia. Shefa organizes Jewish individuals, organizations and foundations to use their financial assets to build community and foster justice. Money is a powerful tool for change. The Shefa Fund draws on centuries of Jewish economic teachings and combines them with contemporary principles of social responsibility to guide the way we understand and use money. Our goal is to implement throughout American Jewish life the highest degree of tzedakah, which we define as partnership and investment, not merely charity.
