Welcome to Goodnation!
JCF has partnered with Goodnation to offer philanthropy advising services to strengthen emerging donors' grantmaking. Goodnation will work with JCF Fundholders and Recommenders to help assess philanthropic priorities and interests and execute a meaningful and impactful plan.
Your Personal Philanthropy Advisor
The technology of the Goodnation platform combined with the personal service of a trained Philanthropy Advisor makes it easy to find and fund the causes and nonprofits which matter deeply to you. We'll then help you optimize your donor-advised fund to support these nonprofits in an impactful and meaningful way.
How it Works
Share Your Interests
Complete Goodnation's donor survey to help identify your core values and the causes you're interested in supporting.
Meet Your Philanthropy Advisor
A conversation with your Philanthropy Advisor further explores the change you hope to help create and how to achieve it. Goodnation's nonprofits fall under more than 30 cause areas, including education, Jewish identity, homelessness, the arts and more.
Select and Support
Goodnation will present you with a recommended list of vetted high-performing nonprofits to add to your giving portfolio. On the platform you can explore all 700+ nonprofit partners, dive into the work and impact of each, add to your giving list and finalize your grant recommendation using your JCF account.

Does our website or platform look a little different to you in this video? That’s because we’re always making improvements to enhance your experience, and that includes to the design!
Our Partnership
Goodnation vets high-performing organizations serving the communities you care about and then makes it easy and rewarding for you to support these nonprofits and see the impact you’re making over time. JCF and Goodnation are separate entities and JCF does not participate in the selection or evaluation of the charities on the Goodnation platform. Goodnation's 5% platform fee is graciously covered by JCF for grants recommended by their fundholders.
