My Nonprofit Reviews

I truly enjoy doing volunteer work with the Jewish Federation of Delaware. Our CEO has created an amazing organization with staff that is well trained and always helpful. The committees that I am on are well run and accomplish a great deal. The combination of volunteers and staff allows our community to accomplish a great deal in a very positive way.

The Jewish Federation of Delaware creates the strong Jewish community in our state. As a volunteer for over 20 years, serving on many boards and committees, I see first hand how well JFD is run and how critical it is. Our CEO, Seth Katzen, has an amazing staff that makes it all run smoothly. There is something available for everyone in the community, and his focus on marketing has made those things more visible to all. The communications are timely and informative. All of the agencies know what is happening. I recently was on vacation in California, but kept up to date with what is happening in DE from my emails. Also, as the chair of the NFC, that includes 6 other Federations and partners in Israel, I always get the support I need from Seth and his staff, as well as helping to communicate our message to DE.

There is so much the JFD offers it is amazing, from PJ Library, to relevant movies and events for the community, the JCC, support for JFS, Hillel ( I am president of the board), education, the Synagogues --it is an outstanding organization.

Today I chaired a very successful joint steering committee meeting composed of volunteers from Delaware and israel at our Federation office. The CEO of the Jewish Federation of Delaware and his staff enabled the success of this meeting. All the materials needed were ready and available for each participant. Information was also sent out in advance, as well as a reminder. A list of attendees and an agenda was provided. There was coffee and snacks available when our guests arrived. They organized a tour of our campus involving people from other organizations. They arranged for lunch, coffee, deserts and snacks, In summary, the staff attended to every detail which enabled a very successful joint steering committee meeting.

I have become more and more involved with the JFD each year. I am continually impressed with the broad impact of the organization. There are programs for new babies, things for children and something for everyone including the ederly. But, not onnly is there incredable breath, but the quality of these programs are also incredibly strong. Recently I attended a WOW event with the most incrdible speaker I have ever heard. All of these programs and services exist because of the dedication of the wonderful staff and many volunteers. When volunteering for these events a stron commmunity is built. I have participated in events like the one described, in Mitzvah day with hundreds of volunteers, and gon on multiple missions to Israel with my Federation. I have also been on the board in various positions. It is an honor to work with this group to people.
