Mission: 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.

Who We Are

For more than 90 years, UJA-Federation of New York has been a central force for communal planning and philanthropy in the New York Jewish community. We bring people together to support Jewish life, help those in need, and impact the issues that matter to us most as Jews and as New Yorkers. Working with more than 100 network beneficiary agencies, synagogues, and other Jewish organizations, our reach spans from New York to Israel to more than 60 other countries around the world, touching 4.5 million people each year.
Our Vision

We envision compassionate, interconnected, and inspired Jewish communities that encourage us to care for our neighbors, our communities, and others in need.

Organizational Structure
UJA-Federation: largest philanthropic organization in Greater NY area represents a network of over 100 health and human service agencies in the United States and abroad.

The UJA Federation of New York is represented on both the New York City VOAD and the New York State VOAD and have numerous agencies involved in disaster preparedness. Due to the nature of the UJA Federation network, existing relationships and collaborations, and the extensive range of services, UJA is well-positioned to respond to many community needs. UJA is a founding member of the 9-11 United Services Group which collaborated with Red Cross, FEMA, Catholic Charities, the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, and the Human Services Council among others to bring integrated case management services to approximately 80,000 individuals during the 9-11 World Trade Center Response.

Disaster Program

The UJA Federation has no formalized disaster program, though it has created a Terrorism Response Fund. UJA Federation has supported trauma related programs in Israel and post 9-11 quickly expanded the purpose of the fund to address local needs in NY. UJA Federation will respond to disasters on a case-by-case basis, and will address needs as appropriate to the location, nature, and severity of the disaster. During past disasters the UJA Federation has implemented a number of emergency services and expanded existing services to address community needs through its network of member organizations. Some Examples:

Offered Facilities, Mental Health Assistance, Case Management, Family Assistance Center Support, Elder Care, Childcare, and Immigrant Issues.

The UJA-Federation works day-to-day on inter-agency coordination, fund-raising, advocacy, and addressing human services policy issues.
