Connect With Your
Jewish Communities
For 120 years, the Jewish Federation has
provided an infrastructure of support for
our Jewish communities, annually raising
and granting millions of dollars to agencies
and organizations providing critical services
and programming locally and abroad.

Through the power of our collective Jewish
community, we can heal, rebuild and work
together to ensure a vibrant Jewish future.

From holiday celebrations that bring the
community together to summer camp
scholarships, mission trips and social services,
the areas we support foster connection and
growth while supporting Jewish life across
demographics and zip codes.

With your support, the Jewish Federation:

community through grants, programs, and
real estate subsidies
• Helps more than 266,000 people locally and
in Israel access nutritious food, financial
assistance, and other social services

community members
...and so much more.
