We protect a growing and vibrant Jewish community in Colorado with our advocacy, grantmaking, and actions. JEWISHcolorado secured Nonprofit Security Grants to assist Colorado organizations with safety and security, and our regional security advisors have provided safety and security training to more than 6,500 individuals at more than 60 agencies, institutions, and synagogues across the state as well as providing dozens of site security assessments to Jewish organizations and synagogues across the state at no cost. Our Jewish Community Relations Council partnered with the Governor's Office to write a proclamation condemning antisemitism; and the JCRC responded to antisemitic and anti-Israel statements in K-12 schools, universities, city councils, and the state legislature. Our Israel emergency fundraising is sent to JFNA which distributes those dollars to organizations working on the ground in Israel, including The Jewish Agency, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, and hundreds of partner organizations and non-governmental organizations operating on the frontlines in Israel.
