Your Federation
Here for You. Here for Good.
Our Mission
Our mission is to strengthen, support, and enhance the quality of Jewish life in our community by building vibrant and inclusive Jewish communities, fostering connections among individuals and organizations, and empowering individuals to actively engage in Jewish community at all stages of life.
Guided by the principles of Tikkun Olam, we offer meaningful programs that enrich Jewish identity and we fund dozens of agencies that work to respond to ongoing challenges and emerging issues. We inspire our youth, feed the hungry, strengthen Israel, and lead a united front against antisemitism. We strive to ensure the continuity and vitality of our Jewish heritage, values, and traditions for generations to come.
We are here for you.
We are here for good.
