Agencies, Allocations and Community Impact


On an annual basis, the Federation’s committees consider local community-building needs and global shared responsibilities, and then allocate funds accordingly. The impact of this collective funding of Federation allows us to constantly and consistently meet the needs of our Jewish family, no matter how far-reaching, no matter where they may be. 

 

The Federation, through our system of community partner agencies and beneficiary organizations, is able to bring together every age and segment of our community to strengthen Jewish life. Our allocations grants provide programs for seniors; quality Jewish education, scholarships and summer camps for children; Israel experiences for teens and young adults; PJ Library activities for families; and a variety of programming and initiatives that elevate our Jewish community.
