A Legacy of Giving
Since 1906, the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta has served as a cornerstone of philanthropy and leadership, dedicated to building a strong, vibrant, and secure Jewish future. In a post-October 7th world, where antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment are heightened, our commitment to ensuring a thriving and resilient Jewish community is stronger than ever. We foster a warm and welcoming community for Jewish professionals, families, and individuals of all Jewish backgrounds and affiliations.
A Commitment To Our Future
We envision a thriving, connected Jewish Atlanta where every Jew and their loved ones can access community, timeless wisdom, global peoplehood, and meaningful ways to do good in the world. Guided by our values—compassion, diversity, generosity, commitment to Jewish life, and strong support for Israel and global Jewry—we strengthen Jewish identity and belonging.
Federation plays a vital role in meeting the evolving needs of Jewish Atlanta. By aligning community planning with philanthropic investment, we support individuals and families, sustain key institutions, and build a vibrant, interconnected Jewish future.
As philanthropic champions, we harness generosity to nurture Jewish life today and for generations to come.
Supporting Our Partner Organizations Every Step of the Way
The Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta proudly supports more than 70 organizations locally, in Israel, and around the world – strengthening Jewish life, providing critical care, and building vibrant, resilient communities.
Through strategic funding, thoughtful planning, and expert guidance, we empower our partners to dream bigger and do more – expanding what’s possible across Jewish Atlanta and beyond.
From feeding Holocaust survivors to inspiring the next generation of Jewish leaders, each organization we support plays a role in a collective impact far greater than any one of us could achieve alone.
Our core local partners – The Breman Museum, Hillels of Georgia, Jewish Family & Career Services (JF&CS), Jewish HomeLife, and the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) – anchor this work, each playing a vital role in shaping a stronger, more connected community.
At the same time, dozens of additional partners extend this impact across education, engagement, human services, Israel, and global Jewish life – ensuring support reaches people at every stage of life and in moments that matter most.
