Statement on Madoff Fraud

Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston expresses its sympathies for the families, individuals, foundations and philanthropies impacted by the Madoff fraud, especially to the many people on the North Shore served by the Lappin Foundation.

CJP's endowment and assets, including the Jewish Community Endowment Pool, LLP (JCEP) and the investments of our Donor Advised Fund and Planned Giving programs, have no direct Madoff investment exposure. We want to assure the community that this will not affect our endowment or our other investment assets, including funds placed in JCEP by other organizations in our community.
