Building our community
We work to lead, build and strengthen and renew a dynamic local Jewish community as well as represent its interests and concerns.
We believe that no child should go to bed hungry. That every senior has the right to live with dignity. That all Jews should be able to live—anywhere in the world—without fear of persecution. That we can inspire the Jewish community of tomorrow. That’s why the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland focuses on helping people in need, rescuing people in danger, and keeping Jewish life strong.
Your donation to Federation is the one gift that does it all. Through our network of partners and our strategic approach to funding, Federation identifies, supports and addresses the full range of social service issues and community needs with compassion and foresight, today and into the future.
