Causes: Federated Giving Programs, Philanthropy
Mission: Federation touches more Jewish lives on the planet than any other organization. In places like Ukraine, where elderly Jews with no pension would have to choose between buying medicine and heating their homes -- if we weren’t there to help them. And in places like Cuba where, without us, there would be no Jewish learning opportunities, rabbis or holiday celebrations. When a family in our community can’t afford to pay for Jewish camp. When a single mother loses her job or a senior needs help around the house and human warmth. Wherever there is a need, we are there to sustain and strengthen Jewish life.
Target demographics: Care for people in need and nurture and sustain the Jewish community today and for future generations.
Direct beneficiaries per year: Jews in 70 countries around the world.
Geographic areas served: The Jewish communities in the Lehigh Valley, in Israel and around the world.
Programs: Funding for the local Jewish Community Center, Jewish Day School and Jewish Family Service and for overseas partners that address the most pressing needs in the Jewish world every day.
