About the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland

The mission of the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland is to assure the building and strengthening of the Jewish community locally, nationally, overseas, and in Israel, in accordance with Jewish values.

During the 2010 campaign, Federation raised over $3.6 million, which will benefit both Jewish and non-Jewish service recipients in Portland and abroad. Federation dollars enrich and uplift lives through the humanitarian programs of its local and overseas beneficiary agencies.
