The Righteous Persons Foundation is dedicated to supporting efforts that build a vibrant, just and inclusive Jewish community in the United States.   The Program Officer manages the day-to-day grantmaking process for the Foundation, reporting to the Associate Director and Executive Director.

The Jacobson Family Foundation is seeking a Program Officer committed to making change possible through well vetted, strategic grants that build Jewish continuity in the United States and ensure Israel’s strength and permanence as a Jewish State. We seek a highly motivated, proactive, experienced professional to focus on the identification, development, vetting, and management of grants, as well as providing key grantees with ongoing support. This Program Officer will focus primarily on the aforementioned goals but will also have exposure to philanthropic investments in the United States where the Foundation focuses on poverty, youth development and education. The JFF process requires deep due diligence on issues and grant opportunities and strongly values the development and cultivation of close, generative strategic relationships with grantees.
