About Our Grants

UJA-Federation selects grant recipients that embody the organization's mission.

UJA-Federation of New York allocated nearly $150 million in grants last year, contributing to the vitality of Jewish life in New York, in Israel, and around the world. Grant recipients include more than 100 human-service, relief, educational, and community-building agencies in UJA-Federation's network and other organizations, including a wide range of independent Jewish institutions and emerging Jewish organizations.

Our funding enables these institutions to deliver services and invest in their ability to achieve a high level of success.

Reports of strategic directions and grants are published annually and updated throughout the year.
