Because the agency recipients are located locally and known to the Jewish Federation, JFNNJ maintains close relationships with the agencies enabling JFNNJ to monitor the progress of the agencies' projects and programs for which the monies were allocated. the JFNNJ staff and volunteers work closely on numerous projects with the agencies in many aspects. Additionally, JFNNJ maintains donor advised funds, whereby donors select charities to make grant distributions from their donor advised accounts.
