Our Mission
Caring for Those in Need
Up to a third of all Jews in New York City, and more than 20 percent of Israel's Jewish families, are living at or below poverty levels.
Rescuing Those in Harm's Way
Today, UJA-Federation's programs are helping Ethiopian Jews become vital participants in Israeli life
Strengthening the Jewish People
UJA-Federation helps Jews discover the richness of their heritage.
We care for those in need, strengthen the Jewish people, and inspire a passion for Jewish life and learning.
Caring is about the warm embrace of community.
We're enabling Jews to overcome crises, cope with the struggles of everyday life, and achieve self-sufficiency.
Our caring hand extends to the poor, the elderly, Holocaust survivors, children and adults with disabilities and special needs, and the unemployed across the economic spectrum. We provide access to crucial human services to all New Yorkers, whoever they are, and Jews everywhere.
Strengthening is about Jewish peoplehood.
We're connecting Jews around the world to one another, building unity and fostering a sense of collective responsibility.
For Jews facing adversity and untold hardship, we're a lifeline and a way home — a reminder that we are all part of one people — never alone and never forgotten.
Inspiring is about Jewish education and identity.
Our goal is to impart the Jewish values that inform everything we do — and to improve access to quality Jewish education.
We're reinvigorating the institutions that help shape Jewish life. Opening doors to Jews of every background. Teaching the next generation of communal leaders. Creating powerful learning experiences for children and adults.
We're building the foundation for tomorrow's Jewish community today.
