Women's Philanthropy

Leading Community, Inspiring Change

Jewish women have long played a central role in strengthening Jewish life through leadership and philanthropy.

Women’s Philanthropy at The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington brings together women who lead our community through giving, learning, and engagement. Through their support of the Annual Campaign, these women help ensure our community can respond to urgent needs, strengthen Jewish life locally, and support Jewish communities in Israel and around the world.
