Women's Philanthropy
UJA-Federation of New York’s Women’s Philanthropy brings together women from across New York to maximize their collective power and make a profound impact on the future of our community.
Collective Power Making an Impact
As the center of Jewish women’s philanthropy in the New York area, more than 28,000 women use their combined talent, energy, and financial clout to inspire and educate, and transform the lives of people in need. From new mothers to grandmothers, from lawyers to bankers to advertising execs, here’s your place to get involved and make a difference.
Women’s Philanthropy can be a meaningful part of your life. Learn about what we do in Manhattan, Long Island, Westchester, and New York's boroughs.
Meet like-minded professionals, and learn how you can make a difference in our community through Professional Women’s Philanthropy, join more than 1,200 women in the New York Jewish community recognized as Lions of Judah, or create an planned gift to give a gift that will live on in perpetuity.
