Jewish Communal Appeal

COA Sydney is a proud member of the "JCA family of organisations", and receives a funding allocation from them to help support our services.

So what is JCA?

The Jewish Communal Appeal (JCA) was set up some 50 years ago to help support Jewish organisations in NSW and the ACT. These organisations include schools, organisations such as Montefiore, the Sydney Jewish Museum, the NSW Board of Deputies, and many, many more.

If you want to support the Jewish community you can either give money directly to JCA for them to distribute, or you can send donations with instructions to forward it to a particular group or program in the community.
