As planned, we are updating FJC's website and account portal. This is our transition week. We are working behind the scenes to provide you with an exciting new system. If you have any questions about your account or would like to make a grant, we are here to help you. Please contact us by phone at (212) 714-0001 or e-mail at fjc@fjc.org.

Important Information About The FJC Account Portal

FJC is implementing multiple new improvements to our website, including a new online account portal designed by DonorFirst software. We are working hard to ensure as smooth a transition as possible. Here's what you need to know:

· During the week of August 20th your access to the current online portal will be disconnected.

· From August 20th - 29th there will be a transition period where requests for all disbursements will have to be communicated by fax or e-mail.

· During this period, we will arrange for your access to the new platform. You will receive an invitation to log in to the new site and create a User ID and specify your credentials.

· It is very important that we have your current e-mail. Please send updated e-mail addresses to fjc@fjc.org.

· In order to assist you with this transition, please see the Donor Orientation Guide here.

More information will be forthcoming. We are very excited to introduce this new interactive system for you to more efficiently and effectively manage your philanthropic activities. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at (212) 714-0001 or fjc@fjc.org. We are eagerly awaiting the day the new system starts and your feedback.
