For foundations & funders

Every Jewish cemetery in America, confirmed by its own office —
the record nobody kept

EverJewish is building the first complete, current, independent record of where Jews can be buried in the United States, and putting it where families actually look — the pages Google returns and AI assistants draw on. Communities pay to complete their own map. The national record, the editorial content, and the communities without a Federation are what philanthropy makes possible.

The gap, in numbers

1,207Jewish cemeteries documented, in 729 towns across 52 states and territories

1,207have never said whether a family can still be buried there

56,000times a page appeared in Google search in the last year, with no marketing

1,016different cemetery pages families opened in the last 90 days — the long tail is the point

What a grant funds

1 · The national record

Reaching every office in the country, not only the communities that can pay

Each cemetery confirms its own availability, eligibility, contact and hours through a two-minute link, at no cost to the cemetery. A partnered Federation opens the doors in its own community; a grant does the same for the 1,207 cemeteries as a whole — and keeps the record current after the first pass, when most records go stale.

2 · The editorial content

Written once, reviewed by a rabbi, in every community's edition

What to do in the first hours. The questions to ask a cemetery and a funeral home. The words a family hears for the first time. The year after, as a timeline. This content sits in every printed community guide and behind every page, written plainly for a pluralistic community and never presenting anything but Jewish burial.

3 · Communities without a Federation

The small and shrinking ones, where the record matters most

A community of six cemeteries and no Federation has no one to commission its guide — and is exactly where a burial society is quietly running out of members, plots, or both. Philanthropy completes these communities on the same terms as the large ones, and the record shows the field which of them need help before it is too late.

What it produces, measurably

Cemeteries confirmed by their own offices. Communities completed. Families' questions delivered to an office and answered. Appearances in search and in AI answers. All of it reported from the site's own data, quarterly, with the gaps counted as honestly as the gains.

What never changes

EverJewish remains an independent record. Funding never changes which cemeteries appear, their order, or what their pages say; no cemetery is ranked, recommended or featured; every listing stays free to correct, and confirming details stays free for every cemetery. Family contact details go only to the cemetery a family chooses to write to. The labels — verified, confirmed, detailed, not yet confirmed — stay on every page and every printed guide, because knowing which is which is the point.

Start with the one-page brief.

The problem in numbers, what is built, the model, and what a grant funds — one page. We send it with the printed guide for a community of your choosing.
