Join us for our Women’s Philanthropy Gatherings where passion meets purpose and community comes alive.

We will come together in neighborhoods across Greater Washington to connect on our shared values and welcome new women to our vibrant sisterhood. We will also hear firsthand from Federation’s community Shlichim (Israeli cultural emissaries) and the impact they hope to have during their time in Greater Washington—each with a unique story, vision, and passion for building bridges between our community and Israel.

Register for one of three options in MD, DC, or Northern VA.
