Terms of Use

Jewish Causes of Choice, Inc. – a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation eligible for tax deductible donations under §501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (including its corporate affiliates, “JChoice,” "us," "we," “our” or the “Organization") – operates our service and network (together, the “Service”). By accessing or using this web site (this "Site") you are telling us that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (these "Terms of Use" or this "Agreement") and our Privacy Policy, which is located elsewhere on this Site.

As we have explained at length elsewhere on this Site, our goal is to establish and encourage a network of donors to support causes that are meaningful to the donor or traditionally have been overlooked by other Jewish funders and philanthropies.

In performing our activities and dealing with you, we will at all times seek to honor the following overriding principle found in the Talmud  By making charity simple, JChoice fosters the principle found in Talmud (Baba Batra 9a): “Charity equals all the other commandments.” (Baba Batra 9a)

JChoice operates a social network to help the next generation of charitable donors find, analyze, and donate to causes.

JChoice is a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation authorized to accept tax-deductible donations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and issue tax receipts. Neither members nor charities are charged a fee to use our network, or donate money through it. Charitable organizations receive 100% of approved donations.

1. Charitable Giving Accounts

Any person may apply to establish a JChoice giving account by completing the online application. No initial contribution is required. If your application is approved, you will be issued a tax receipt.

To be able to immediately issue a tax receipt, we must adhere to a complex set of IRS rules. Most importantly, we have to tell you that your gift account is a “donor-advised fund.” Donor-advised fund is an IRS designation, and it means that once your contribution is accepted, it is owned and controlled by JChoice and can’t be revoked. It also means that you have the “privilege” of recommending how the money in your account is distributed, but we have final say.

JChoice exists to encourage and empower young people to give money to charity. Unlike some other donor-advised funds, our job is only half done when money goes into a gift account. We want to see money turn into good works. Therefore, if a gift account remains inactive (failure to either contribute to or distribute from your account) for 12 months JChoice may act to take away the account holder’s power to recommend charitable grants (see below). JChoice in its sole discretion may elect to transfer the assets from inactive accounts to the JChoice Charitable Pool. Once a year, funds placed in the JChoice Charitable Pool are donated to charity in accordance with the recommendations of the Charitable Allocation Committee of the JChoice Board of Directors. Holders of inactive accounts will be notified 90, 60, and 30 days before JChoice transfers their funds to the JChoice Charitable Pool. Any account activity will return the account to active status.

Each Account has a designated “Holder” who has the privilege of recommending which charities should receive the funds in the account. Communications regarding the account, with the exception of confirmations of deposits made by third parties, will be sent to the Holder. Until the holder makes a grant recommendation, contributions are held in a savings account. At this time, individual account balances do not accrue interest or receive dividends. JChoice retains any interest earned to simplify bookkeeping and to help offset administrative and programmatic costs. Jchoice has ultimate authority for investing the gift account assets and may hold or invest them as it sees fit. The Holder may, at any time and as many times as he/she wishes, recommend a grant to a qualified charitable organization. Grant recommendations are not binding, and are subject to review and approval by JChoice in its sole discretion. JChoice reserves the right to perform additional due diligence and decline to make a recommended grant to a charitable organization.

2. Donor Groups

JChoice gives individual account holders the ability to band together and increase the impact of their charitable contribution by giving as a group. When an Account Holder allocates funds to a donor group, they also transfer their power to recommend grants of the allocated funds to a committee of donor group members, who decide by popular vote.

Each donor group has a designated “Manager” who may be any member of the donor group. Communications regarding the donor group, with the exception of confirmations of deposits made by third parties, will be sent to the Manager. It will be the Manager’s responsibility to notify JChoice of the donor group’s grant recommendations.

Donor groups are subject to the same inactivity restrictions (see section 1, above) we apply to individual accounts.

3. Donations to JChoice

Donations to JChoice help pay our administrative costs, and remaining funds are applied to a secure endowment. Ideally, interest from the endowment will eventually cover all administrative costs. For information about how JChoice uses your donation please see our IRS form 990.

• your statement that you believe in good faith that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
• your statement that the above information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please send such notice to joshua@shalomlearning.org. We will take reasonable steps to promptly notify the user whose submission was removed or disabled that JChoice has removed or disabled access to such content.

Counter-Notice. If you believe your user submission that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent or pursuant to law, to post and use the content in your user submission, you may send us a counter-notice containing the following information:

• your electronic or physical signature;
• a description of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled;
• identification of the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
• your name, address, telephone number and email address;
• your statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of United States District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which JChoice may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of claimed infringement or an agent of such person; and
• your statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content.

Please send such notice to joshua@shalomlearning.org. If we receive a counter-notice, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may restore the removed content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the member or user, JChoice may replace the removed content and cease disabling access to it in not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days after receipt of the counter-notice.

IMPORTANT! YOUR ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION ON THIS WEB SITE (THIS “SITE”) AND YOUR CONTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION TO THIS SITE ARE SUBJECT TO LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS. CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING. BY ACCESSING AND/ OR USING THIS SITE, YOU ARE TELLING US THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SITE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT, PLEASE IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF THIS SITE.

Jewish Causes of Choice, Inc. (including its corporate affiliates, “JChoice,” "us," "we" or “our”) respects the privacy of every individual who accesses JChoice.org. This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) outlines the information we may collect through or in connection with JChoice.org and how we may use that information. To make this notice easy to find, we provide links on the JChoice.org homepage and at points where “Personally-Identifiable Contact Information,” as defined below, is requested.

All content in JChoice.org is accessible to the general public – except for the ability to social network with other individuals who register as JChoice members (“JChoice Members”) – including email correspondence, sharing Divrei Torah and other downloadable content from each other’s profiles and commenting on each other’s blogs. These social networking features are reserved for JChoice Members. In this Policy we will refer to individuals who visit JChoice.org but do not register as JChoice Members as “Visitors.”

JChoice will not collect any Visitor’s Personally-Identifiable Contact Information – which term includes, but is not limited to, the Visitor’s name, address, telephone number or email address – unless he or she voluntarily discloses to JChoice that Personally-Identifiable Contact Information. Visitors who have disclosed Personally-Identifiable Contact Information to us but later desire that we remove it from their records, or later desire to have it corrected or updated, should contact JChoice at info@JChoice.org. In that event we will use reasonable efforts to delete or revise the Personally-Identifiable Contact Information, as requested. JChoice uses return email addresses to answer email it receives. These addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties. JChoice does not use or share any Personally-Identifiable Contact Information disclosed by Visitors except to reply to email and/or under the circumstances described in Compliance with Legal Process below.

To become a JChoice Member an individual must (1) complete our online registration form, which requires the submission of certain Personally-Identifiable Contact Information including, but not limited to, demographic information (for example, real name, address, home phone, birth date, email address, etc.) we use to contact the JChoice Member, and (2) agree to our Terms of Use, which are included on this Site. There is no charge to become a JChoice Member, but to participate in our charitable network we require the JChoice Member to donate a minimum of $18 to at least one charitable cause once. We will store all registration information a JChoice Member provides in an individualized JChoice Member profile or in a secure database. Any information a JChoice Member chooses to enter in his or her JChoice Member profile will not be visible to other users of this Site. JChoice collects and uses each JChoice Member’s information to enhance the JChoice Member’s experience on JChoice.org and the JChoice Members’ sections and to operate and deliver the customized services the JChoice Member wishes to use. JChoice also employs cookies (that is, small pieces of information that are stored by a user’s computer browser on the hard drive) to determine the extent to which an individual has access privileges on JChoice.org, to track site usage and to enhance the JChoice Members’ online experience by speeding up navigation, recalling information such as login names and enabling custom tailored content. JChoice Members who do not accept cookies from JChoice.org may be unable to access certain parts of our JChoice Member sections.

We may disclose Personally-Identifiable Contact Information if we are required to do so by law or we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with the legal process; (2) protect and defend JChoice’s rights and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of JChoice.org; or (4) protect the personal safety or property of the users of JChoice.org or the public (including, but not limited to, circumstances in which an individual provides false information or attempts to pose as someone else, when such information may be disclosed a part of an investigation into the individual’s actions). If JChoice is compelled by law, court order or other judicial or legal process to disclose any of a Visitor’s or JChoice Member’s personal information to a court or third party, we may undertake reasonable efforts to give that Visitor or JChoice Member prior notice using the contact information the Visitor or JChoice Member has provided. We cannot, however, guarantee to provide such notice.

We are committed to helping parents and other responsible guardians develop positive and value-building relationships with their children. We therefore encourage parents to go online with their kids. Here are a few tips to help make a child’s online experience safer:

• Teach kids never to give personal information – including name, address, phone, school, etc. – unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult.
• Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
• Look for web site privacy policies.
• Know how your child’s information is treated.
• Check out the FTC’s site for more tips on protecting children's privacy online.

If you have any questions or concerns in this area, please contact us at once at info@JChoice.org.

In some cases we may collect information about a Visitor or a JChoice Member that is not personally-identifiable. Examples of such information include the user’s IP address, the user’s type of internet browser, the user’s type of computer operating system, the location of the user’s computer on the Internet, the domain name of the web site from which the user linked to JChoice.org, and the pages within JChoice.org that each user visits. This information is used for various purposes including internal review and traffic audits.

We reserve the right to collect, use and disclose to third parties information about general access to and usage of JChoice.org and any related services, including information gathered during use of JChoice.org. Any information disclosed will be in the form of aggregate data (such as overall patterns or demographic reports) that does not describe or identify any individual user. We may also perform statistical analyses of user behavior to measure interest in the various areas of JChoice.org for product development purposes. JChoice will not release Personally-Identifiable Contact Information to third parties, except under the circumstances described above in Compliance with Legal Process or with the individual’s permission.

JChoice reserves the right to use the voice, recordings, videos and/or writing (“Personal Contributions”) of any JChoice Member who publishes Personal Contributions at JChoice.org, voluntarily submits Personal Contributions to us or consents to our acquiring and/or preserving his or her Personal Contributions, in any way that JChoice believes is proper, in any place throughout the world, for any purpose, including, but not limited to, copying, displaying, sending or giving Personal Contributions to anyone else in the world, owning the copyright in and to the Personal Contributions (except for an individual’s name), and using the Personal Contributions in any form of media that now exists or may exist in the future, without ever having to compensate a JChoice Member or Visitor, so long as JChoice determines that doing so supports or benefits the purposes of JChoice. Our rights to Personal Contributions encompass, among other things, (1) any photo, film or image we have taken of a JChoice Member or a voluntarily submitting or consenting Visitor, (2) any recording we have made of a JChoice Member or a voluntarily submitting or consenting Visitor and (3) any information disclosed to us during any interview, in an application for membership in JChoice.org, during participation in any JChoice program or during participation in a JChoice program.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online. JChoice prides itself in encouraging anonymous giving by requiring all donations to be made through a screen name.

Where we provide links to other web sites, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. You must read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personal information. This Policy applies solely to information collected by JChoice at this Site.

Although JChoice will use reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of all Personally-Identifiable Contact Information, transmissions made by means of the internet cannot be made absolutely secure. We will have no liability for disclosure of any Personally-Identifiable Contact Information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties.

Any questions or concerns about this Policy should be directed to JChoice by sending an email to JChoice@shalomlearning.org.

We reserve the right to change or update this Policy, or any other policy or practice regarding JChoice.org, at any time with reasonable notice to users of JChoice.org, such as by posting on this Site. Any changes or updates will be effectively immediately upon (1) posting on this Site unless expressly stated otherwise in the relevant policy, change or update and/or (2) changing the date of this Policy.
