Find the people your opportunities were made for.
Jewish organizations create extraordinary programs, experiences, and ways to get involved. But the people most likely to benefit from them don’t always know where to look.
JacobKnows matches your opportunities with people based on what they care about, what they’re looking for, and where they are in Jewish life.
Better discovery. Better-fit participants. No selling or exposing personal data.

Great opportunities shouldn’t depend on people knowing where to look.
Discovery is fragmented
Programs are scattered across organizational websites, newsletters, social feeds, directories, and word of mouth.
People don’t search by organization
“I want to meet other Jewish families.” “I want to do something meaningful.” “I want my teenager to feel more confident as a Jew.” They search by what they’re looking for—not by who offers it.
The right people are easy to miss
Your next participant, volunteer, board member, fellow, donor, or community leader may never encounter your organization.
One matching engine. Two directions.
The same understanding of people and opportunities powers discovery in both directions.
