JIMENA (Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa) is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, CA, dedicated to achieving universal recognition for the heritage and history of the 850,000 indigenous Jewish refugees from the Middle East and North Africa. Through their programs and advocacy efforts, JIMENA aims to ensure that the accurate history of Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews is incorporated into mainstream Jewish and Middle Eastern narratives, creating balance in attitudes, narratives, and discourse about Middle Eastern refugees and the modern Jewish experience. Founded in 2001 by former Jewish refugees from the Middle East and North Africa, JIMENA seeks to empower students and adult audiences with a deeper understanding of the conflicts and cultural nuances in the region. They have launched numerous campaigns and projects to document the history of Jewish refugees from Arab countries and have shared their personal stories with various international organizations and institutions. As the only organization in North America focused on educating and advocating for Jewish refugees from Arab countries, JIMENA continues to play a key leadership role in international initiatives to advance this issue.Generated from the website

In its commitment to education, the Foundation has played a significant role in supporting precollegiate education since 1988, although it is transitioning out of its Education Grants program. Through initiatives such as the Eureka Fellows program, the Foundation continues to invest in the artistic innovations and voices that define the Bay Area's rich cultural landscape.
