Each year over 25 volunteers on the grants committee, representing a cross section of the community, review the programs and partners we support. Through careful analysis and discussion, decisions are made as to the best use of campaign dollars. Thanks to this process and the dedication of our volunteers, the community's dollars are hard at work each and every day.

 

Federation supports strategic partners, enabling them to offer the best services to educate our children, strengthen Jewish identity, provide for our seniors, enrich our community, and build a strong Jewish future in Memphis, Israel and worldwide.

 

Every day, because of your support, we have the privilege of helping Jews in Memphis, in Israel and around the world.

 

This year, more funds were allocated to youth engagement and educational programs than ever before -  programs that have a proven track record towards ensuring the Jewish future. Being aware of the growing and changing needs in our community and creating solutions to meet them is something in which we take great pride.
