Introducing the 2026 Community Campaign & New Campaign Video
The Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta has always been at the heart of Jewish life in our city. For more than a century, Federation has united our community, carried forward our values, and ensured that Jewish life in Atlanta thrives. Now, beginning with Fiscal Year 2026, we are taking a bold new step forward—a campaign vision that simplifies giving, amplifies impact, and ensures that no need goes unmet.
This is more than just a new structure. It’s a new way of thinking about how we care for one another. It reflects who we are: strong, proud, purposeful, and united—As One.
With one gift to Federation, every donor now powers five vital impact areas that define Jewish strength today and secure our future:
- Caring for Those in Need – Supporting families in crisis, Holocaust survivors, seniors, people with disabilities, and Jews worldwide in times of crisis.
- Jewish Education – Investing in day schools, preschools, camps, and lifelong learning that empower Jewish identity and leadership for generations.
- Israel & Jews Worldwide – Standing shoulder to shoulder with our global Jewish family, providing urgent relief, deepening partnerships, and strengthening ties to Israel.
- Jewish Engagement – Building connections across all ages and stages of life, from PJ Library families to young professionals to college students through Hillel.
- Safety & Security – Protecting Jewish Atlanta through proactive security training, preparedness, and partnerships that safeguard our community institutions.
Each of these areas represents a promise: that together, we will lead with courage, respond with compassion, and ensure that Jewish life remains vibrant, resilient, and secure.
Michael Kogon, this year’s Campaign Chair, shares the As One vision for meeting the highest needs in our Jewish community:
“It reflects our shared commitment to meeting today’s urgent challenges with clarity, courage, and purpose—ensuring that every dollar raised goes further, faster, and deeper where it’s needed most. With this shift, we are prepared to act boldly and respond swiftly whenever and wherever a crisis strikes. With one gift, our donors can support it all—so no need goes unmet, no Jew stands alone, and every corner of our community grows stronger.”
This campaign is designed not just to respond to needs, but to anticipate them—so that when challenges arise, Jewish Atlanta rises to meet them.
Generations before us carried the torch of Jewish life in Atlanta with vision and resilience. Today, that responsibility is ours.
The 2026 Annual Campaign is our chance to write the next chapter—one where we protect what matters, uplift those in need, and build a Jewish future we can all be proud of.
That’s why we are proud to share our brand-new Fiscal Year 2026 Campaign Video, designed to capture the energy, urgency, and inspiration of this moment. We invite you to watch it—and be moved to join us.
This is your community. This is your moment. By giving As One, you make sure every corner of Jewish Atlanta grows stronger. You make sure no Jew stands alone. You make sure that Jewish pride, security, and purpose live on—not just for today, but for generations to come.
Be proud. Be strong. Be counted. Give As One.
