Giving tzedakah (charitable donations) is a long-standing Jewish custom at the High Holidays. Every year, Fabrangen selects several charitable organizations that we recommend for your holiday giving. Combining your tzedakah and your donation to Fabrangen is convenient for you, and bundling the donations increases our impact on the recipient organizations.

National Fund for Abortion Access from the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW)
Abortion access is a Jewish value, plain and simple.
For too long, the American narrative about religion and abortion has ignored Jewish voices — and it’s past time for that to end. Join the Jewish movement to make it clear that Jews support reproductive freedom.
National Council of Jewish Women is the leading Jewish organization mobilizing the Jewish community on abortion justice. Your support powers that work.
ID Ministry at Foundry United Methodist Church

We believe all persons are created in God’s image, the imago dei, it is part of our common identity. Within our society we have systems that often distort and devalue the identities of our neighbors. One of those systems is the need to carry identification documents in order to receive employment, housing, or services. Foundry’s ID seeks to restore to neighbors in need the documents necessary to obtain jobs, housing, education, or services in the community.
Fabrangen Project Hope

Project Hope is a tzedakah project that offers direct service to families in Washington, D.C., empowering families and individuals to maintain permanent residences, and expand job and educational opportunities. Fabrangeners and friends have been supporting Project Hope since 1988. More information . . .
