Fondation Casip-Cojasor

NEW ! STARTING FROM JUNE 2024 :

Collecting donations in the United States for CASIP (through FRIENDS OF CASIP-COJASOR), the largest social and medico-social aid institution of the Jewish community in France, founded in 1809, is of crucial importance in the face of to several major issues. First, the rise of anti-Semitism in France is an alarming concern. Hostile acts against the Jewish community have increased, causing legitimate fear among the Jews of France. This fear is exacerbated by economic realities, such as poverty, that affect many members of the community. The need for help to those in need is dire, and CASIP’s mission is to provide vital support to people facing financial, medical or social difficulties.

By mobilizing the generosity of Franco-Americans living in the United States of America and those with a philanthropic soul, the collection of donations aims to strengthen the resources of CASIP. These funds will make it possible to extend assistance to approximately 30,000 people that the Foundation supports each year. And more families in the future. Thanks to this financial support, CASIP will be able to intensify its actions by providing essential support to vulnerable people within the Jewish community in France, thus helping to alleviate the consequences of anti-Semitism, poverty and social needs. Transnational solidarity can play a crucial role in creating meaningful and lasting impact for those who need it most.

If you know about CASIP-COJASOR, it is probably because one of your parents, or a member of your family, or a friend needed CASIP. Or yourself ?

Unless for you, helping CASIP through Friends of Casip-Cojasor, by making a donation, means helping a person from the Jewish community of France. Quite simply !

By opening an entity in the USA, you can only support those we have helped in France for over two hundred years, and benefit from a tax deduction (according to the rules of the American tax administration).

Henri Fiszer, president of the Casip-Cojasor Foundation and Friends of Casip-Cojasor INC, as well as Eric de Rothschild, honorary president of the Casip-Cojasor Foundation, send you a warm THANK YOU, for your contribution which will be used in full for the thousands of people we follow in France.
