What Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council Inc does

The Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council Inc (Indianapolis JCRC, DBA Indianapolis JCRC) is a nonprofit corporation founded in 1942 and headquartered at 6705 N. Hoover Road, Indianapolis, Indiana. It operates as the public affairs and community relations arm of the organized Jewish community of Indianapolis, affiliated with the Jewish Federation of Indianapolis. Its mission centers on safeguarding Jewish rights and promoting a democratic, pluralistic society through advocacy, education, and coalition building. The served populations include Jewish families and individuals in the Indianapolis region, K-12 schools and educators, interfaith and intergroup organizations, and local/state policymakers.

The organization's program portfolio spans antisemitism incident reporting (with reports routed to the local Federation Security Director and to the Secure Community Network Duty Desk), school-based incident reporting via Stop Hate in Schools, public policy engagement, Holocaust education and remembrance, Israel education and advocacy, interfaith partnerships, coalition building, a School Engagement Leaders Network (volunteer liaisons to schools), a Student-to-Student youth program, parent support resources, a speaker request program, community events, and a 5-Year Jewish Holiday Calendar (2025–2030). A 2025 Impact Report documents the year's programmatic outputs. Technology infrastructure is operational rather than product-focused: a WordPress website (indyjcrc.org) serves as the primary digital surface, Constant Contact powers email newsletters and event registrations, GivingFuel processes donations, and the Stop Hate in Schools platform handles school-based incident intake. No proprietary software, mobile app, or API is disclosed.

Revenue is generated entirely through charitable donations and community contributions processed via the GivingFuel donation page; all programs and services are provided free of charge, with no fees, subscriptions, or contracts. The go-to-market is community-led, relying on grassroots advocacy, volunteer recruitment, school engagement, speaker requests, and direct outreach to civic leaders and policymakers, with the website and email newsletter supporting demand generation. Staffing consists of four named executives: Executive Director David Sklar, Director of Strategic Outreach and Communications Amber Maze, Director of Community Engagement Yaniv Shmukler, and Student-to-Student Coordinator Risé Friedman.
