KAVOD: The Collective

KAVOD is a non-profit tzedakah collective.  We are a group of individuals who have chosen to pool our tzedakah research ources together so that, as a community, we can have a greater impact in our efforts to repair the world. We strive to be a real community. There are usually no more than two degrees of separation between any individual contributor to KAVOD and a member of the board of directors. Together we have given away far more tzedakah money and created far more programs as a collective than we could have as individual contributors.   To find out more about how you can be part of this mitzvah:  click on Contact.

KAVOD Recipients

We create new programs and fund existing programs that help Jews and non-Jews living in the United States, Israel, and around the world to live in dignity and honor. We commit ourselves as a collective to forming personal relationships with the tzedakah heroes we support.  We visit and write and phone the people whom we are fortunate enough to be able to help and we encourage our donors to do the same.  To learn more about the amazing projects and people we support, scroll down to view our annual reports.

KAVOD Donations

Since KAVOD began in 1993 over five thousand people have made donations to KAVOD.  Some of these acts of tzedakah are as large as ten thousand dollars and some as small as eighteen cents.  We strive to operate as close to 0% overhead as possible and to support programs that similarly demand efficiency.  You can donate to KAVOD knowing that all of your money will go to fund projects that have been carefully chosen.   KAVOD is a 501(c)(3), tax-exempt corporation, Tax ID # 47-0789888, doing tzedakah since 5754 (1993) To donate: click on Donate.

KAVOD  Education

KAVOD believes that study and learning will lead to action.  We write and distribute curriculum materials about Tzedakah and we study, teach, and share the great texts and stories which encourage raising and distributing tzedakah wisely and effectively.   To find out more about our educational initiatives and important links:  click on Education.
