Jewish Silicon Valley Launches New Community Safety Fund

Jewish Silicon Valley (JSV), a non-profit organization focused on connecting, fostering, and advocating for the Jewish community in Silicon Valley, is pleased to announce the launch of the Community Safety Fund, a new dedicated initiative designed to enhance safety and security for the well-being of the local Jewish community. The Community Safety Fund, housed at and administered by Jewish Silicon Valley, will provide flexible, responsive support to address urgent and emerging community safety needs in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties in light of escalating threats and recent attacks targeting Jewish institutions locally and across the United States. The initiative is anchored with grant funding from the Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF).

“According to the Antisemitism Worldwide Report, 2025 was the deadliest year for the Jewish community in more than three decades,” said Daniel Klein, CEO of Jewish Silicon Valley. “At the same time, security costs for Jewish institutions in Silicon Valley have risen by nearly 200%, creating significant financial strain for organizations already working to meet growing community needs.”
