Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why should I give to the Federation instead of giving directly to my favorite agency?

Supporting individual agencies directly is an essential part of ensuring our vibrant community so we encourage you to support your favorite organizations in addition to a gift to the Federation. Federation has the reach, relevancy, and impact to go beyond what any individual organization can do alone. Just as no single institution in our community provides for all the needs of you and your family to thrive Jewishly, Federation ensures that the collectively every member of the community can access the programs and services that inspire them, connect them and care for them. We offer a variety of giving opportunities that both enable you to contribute to the collective as well as support projects that speak to your personal passions. We are a philanthropic champion raising vital funds to power Jewish Atlanta, but we also function as a community incubator and amplifier, creating and nurturing partnerships among organizations to enable projects to move forward in a bigger way to best serve the community. We use the knowledge and data we have through community planning to identify gaps and create a vision to
best move Jewish Atlanta forward, and we help new projects get started through funding, mentoring, and other capacity building.

Why is it so important to give to the Partners Fund?

The Partners Fund is the engine that powers all of Jewish Atlanta and the most impactful gift you can make. Through this fund, you support the whole – enabling us to continue to provide the programs and services Jewish Atlantans and Jews around the world depend on. With one single gift, you ensure the vibrancy of foundational organizations like Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta, Jewish Family & Career Services, Jewish HomeLife, Hillels of Georgia, The Breman Museum, as well as organizations that provide enriching Jewish education, develop meaningful connections to Israel, inspire young adults, and aid those in need. 70+ Jewish organizations & programs that nourish our people here, in Israel, and around the world. This is what Federation is built for. A gift to Partners fund also ensures community safety, powers research to guide priorities, and addresses emergencies.

What are other giving opportunities?

Federation offers a series of additional giving opportunities which enable donors to direct resources to priority areas that resonate with them and which our leadership has identified as meeting a specific need or opportunity that requires additional investment. This year, our priority projects are Everyday Jewish Thriving, AgeWell Atlanta, Jewish Abilities Atlanta, Jewish Camp Initiative, Jewish Communal Professional Fund, Jewish Innovation Fund, and LiveSecure. Through these opportunities, we focus on programs and initiatives where we are seeing great success deepening Jewish engagement, connecting with a new generation, and securing our Jewish community.

I'm not happy with Israel’s politics right now so why should I give any money to them?

Federation is committed to building community, strengthening Jewish peoplehood, and helping Jews in need wherever they are. Israel is a diverse country with a wide spectrum of opinions, nationalities and faiths. We remain steadfast in our support of Israel as the Jewish homeland, and we recognize that we need Israel’s spirit and know-how as much as Israel needs us.
