About Us
Who We Are
The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington strengthens Jewish life in DC, Suburban Maryland, and Northern Virginia—and connects our community to Israel and Jewish communities worldwide. We serve as a hub of care, connection, and collective action for a vibrant Jewish future.
What We Do
We bring people, resources, and organizations together to meet urgent needs and open new pathways for Jewish connection, learning, and action.
Guided by data, deep relationships, and community priorities, we direct resources where they can make the greatest impact—caring for individuals, strengthening institutions, and securing our collective future.
Together, we build a community that is strong, connected, and resilient for generations to come.
We strive to inspire, build, and sustain vibrant Jewish life in a changing world by mobilizing our community in common purpose, intentional innovation, and effective action.
We envision an open, connected, and vibrant Jewish community that cares for each other, fosters Jewish learning and journeys, embraces Jewish peoplehood and Israel, and acts as a force for good in the world.
How shared responsibility becomes real impact in our community and beyond.
