Voices of JFS: Robin and Steven z”l Chotin and the Chotin Family Foundation

Robin and Steven z”l Chotin and the Chotin Family Foundation are longtime supporters of JFS. Through financial investments, event committee participation, and volunteering, their impact is felt throughout the organization and community—especially with their contributions to Holocaust Survivor services, Jewish Economic Vulnerability, and Jewish Disabilities Advocates.

The couple first became involved with JFS in 2000 and were involved in Yana Vishnitsky’s success as CEO of the agency. “Once Yana took over, she spent a lot of time with my husband Steven and me teaching us about JFS and what it does, as did former Director of Development Dawn Richards,” shared Robin. “The staff at JFS has always been wonderful.”

Robin believes strongly in the programs and services JFS offers throughout Colorado. “JFS has helped people I know in many ways. The agency’s programs are available throughout the community and are a lifeline for those who need assistance during challenging times,” said Robin. “They are a full-service organization that helps people financially, emotionally, and with everyday needs, such as the Weinberg Food Pantry and so much more.”

Currently, Robin is excited to be serving as a co-chair for our November 2022 anniversary event, our Gala Celebrating JFS: 150 Years in the Making.

The Chotin family’s generosity to help improve the lives of children, individuals, and families is well-known throughout Denver and beyond. Donors like Robin, Steve, of blessed memory, and the entire Chotin family make a life-changing difference to the thousands of families who rely on JFS to rebuild and transform their lives. We are so grateful for their support.
