FJHP is delighted to help raise funds for our primary partner: FODŻ, the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland. They provide critical on-ground support for many of our projects and we provide critical financial support for many of their projects.
FODŻ was established in 2002 by the Union of Jewish Communities in Poland and the World Jewish Restitution Organization (WJRO). Its primary mission is to protect and commemorate the surviving sites and monuments of Jewish cultural heritage in Poland. The Foundation is active where no Jewish community exists today or where distance from major urban centers or lack of sufficient financial resources makes it difficult for existing small Jewish communities to provide adequate long-term care and maintenance.

We have done a number of projects in cooperation with The Matzevah Foundation. It is a Christian charity that seeks to broaden and deepen the dialogue with the Jewish community by:
1. Caring for and restoring Jewish cemeteries in Poland.
2. Educating the public about the Shoah.

Friends of Jewish Cemeteries in Poland is an affiliate of Friends of Jewish Heritage in Poland. FJCP members meet monthly to share their experiences and best practices concerning Jewish cemetery preservation in Poland. FJCP welcomes new members. Several FJCP members are leading FJHP cemetery projects.
ESJF-The European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative is devoted to preserving Jewish cemeteries across Europe, particularly in the regions impacted by the devastating consequences of the Shoah.. As of 2024, the ESJF has demarcated and fenced more than 300 Jewish cemeteries across Central and Eastern Europe, including several in Poland. We are grateful for their critical contributions that have supported some FJHP and FODŻ projects.
