The JEHT Foundation is a national philanthropic organization that was forced to stop all grant-making and close its doors as of January 2009. The foundation must close because two of its largest donors lost substantial monies because of the Bernard Madoff scandal.JEHT Foundation: Statement of Robert Crane (December 15, 2008)

"The JEHT Foundation Board deeply regrets that the important work that the Foundation has undertaken over the years is ending so abruptly. The issues the Foundation addressed received very limited philanthropic support and the loss of the foundation's funding and leadership will cause significant pain and disruption of the work for many dedicated people and organizations. The Foundation's programs have met with significant success in recent years—promoting change in these critical areas in partnership with government and the non-profit sector. Hopefully others will look closely at this work and consider supporting it going forward."—Robert Crane, JEHT FoundationJEHT Foundation: Statement of Robert Crane (December 15, 2008)
