We are excited to share an important development. Beginning August 1, the Jewish Community Foundation San Diego (JCF) and the Leichtag Foundation’s philanthropy team—Impact Cubed—will reunite and integrate their efforts. This collaboration will bring together philanthropic advisory services, educational programs, nonprofit capacity building, and our shared commitment to strengthening the Jewish community, supporting Israel, and addressing critical challenges with greater impact.
This integration builds on JCF’s nearly 60-year track record as a trusted philanthropic leader in San Diego, Israel, and beyond. By joining forces, we will expand our reach, increase our effectiveness, and enhance our role as philanthropic advisors, conveners, and advocates for strategic giving. We will combine our expertise in nonprofit best practices with strong relationships across the Jewish and broader nonprofit landscape to better support donors and organizations alike.
Jeremy Pearl will remain CEO of JCF. Charlene Seidle will join JCF as President and Chief Philanthropy Officer while continuing her leadership at the Leichtag Foundation during its wind-down. Sharleen Wollach, JCF Executive Vice President and Chief Impact Officer, and Eli Landau, JCF Chief Financial Officer, will continue in their roles alongside Impact Cubed professionals who will join the JCF team.
At JCF, we offer donor-advised funds and other charitable vehicles, paired with personalized services that make giving meaningful, tax-efficient, and impactful. We are committed to mobilizing philanthropic dollars for the greatest good and are excited to expand our resources to support other nonprofit organizations in building capacity through education, consulting, and top-tier professional investment management services.
