Support Federation’s Work

Connect with Our Community - Locally and Globally

Since 1913, we have helped sustain and improve the quality of Jewish life in New Orleans, in Israel, and around the world. Together with our peer Jewish Federations across North America we act nationally and globally to address challenges including antisemitism, humanitarian crises, and natural disasters.

In New Orleans our work helps ensure the vitality of the local Jewish community through grant making to organizations standing as pillars in local Jewish culture, as well as serving the entire multicultural community of Greater New Orleans. We seek every opportunity to contribute meaningfully to New Orleans’ vitality, vibrance, and future through the Jewish value of tikkun olam, meaning “repairing the world.”

The annual Community Campaign raises funds to support more than fifteen local constituents and beneficiaries, four international humanitarian & education initiatives, and Federation’s signature multicultural, multigenerational and interfaith programming.

New Community Campaign donors, and donors who increase their Campaign giving from year to year, receive a 25% match on new and increased amounts from the Goldring Family and Woldenberg Foundations. Consider increasing this year!

SET YOUR PHILANTHROPIC COURSE

Philanthropists are the change-makers and community-shapers of the world. The Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans offers many paths to engage in the fulfilling work of tikkun olam. Our collective philanthropy enriches our own lives while improving the lives of others.
