Jewish Family Service Agency

What Jewish Family Service Agency does

Jewish Family Service Agency (JFSA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, founded in 1977. It serves vulnerable populations across Clark County and rural Nevada through a portfolio of programs including behavioral health counseling, adoption and foster services, emergency financial assistance, senior services, and food distribution. The agency is one of the principal providers of the state-funded Nevada Care Connection aging-and-disability resource navigation program, operating under the No Wrong Door framework across multiple counties. It served approximately 25,189 individuals in 2025 and distributed 740,400 pounds of food, with an operational headcount of 11-50 employees.

JFSA's service delivery model is built around direct client engagement by licensed clinicians, social workers, and case managers, supported by a volunteer base and community partnerships. There is no proprietary technology platform underlying the business; operations rely on standard case-management systems, donor CRM tools, and manual workflows. The technology footprint is functional rather than differentiated and does not appear to include automation, AI, or data-driven decisioning beyond basic reporting.

JFSA's revenue model is consistent with a mid-sized human services nonprofit: an operating budget funded by a mix of state and county contracts (notably through the Nevada Care Connection program), grants from healthcare payers such as SilverSummit Healthplan and SCAN Health Plan, charitable contributions from individual donors, foundation grants, and special-event fundraising including the Light the World Giving Machines campaign and galas. The organization is led by CEO Ken Moskowitz, holds Charity Navigator Gold Transparency certification, and is preparing for its 50th anniversary in 2027.
