The Campaign for Jewish Needs is the annual fundraising Campaign that ensures our community’s vitality and vibrancy in the year ahead. Whether we are feeding the hungry, comforting the sick, caring for the elderly, educating our youth, ensuring a Jewish future, or supporting Israel, our Jewish community stands together. And, together, we can make the world a better place.
We provide essential, unrestricted dollars for the organizations that provide amazing services to our community and to those in need around the world. We raise money and use a volunteer-driven, transparent process to distribute it to the local, national, and global programs that need it most. The Jewish Federation of Louisville is a 501(c)(3) organization, charity number 61-0444765.
