Access Fund Founding Statement

Our Mission

Making Jewish education accessible for every family.

Jewish day school tuition has surged beyond the reach of middle-class families — those who earn too much to qualify for aid, yet too little to afford the cost. The Access Fund is demanding systemic change through community mobilization, policy advocacy, and direct impact.

Advocacy & Policy Reform

Pushing for systemic changes in tuition structures and financial aid policies at Jewish day schools nationwide.

Community Mobilization

Building a powerful coalition of families, alumni, and supporters who believe cost should never be a barrier to Jewish identity.

Measurable Direct Impact

Creating real, quantifiable change in how schools approach tuition and aid transparency for families at every income level.
