how we help

The Jewish Federation of Silicon Valley runs campaigns to assist with humanitarian and social services needs.  The 2010 Annual Campaign is in full swing.  Join us in making a difference in your local community and for Jews around the world.  Concurrently, we continue to raise money through our Capital Campaign to complete the financing for the Levy Family Campus.  You can become part of local history by donating to the Capital Campaign. 

Out of the $ 5.5 million raised by the Jewish Federation of Silicon Valley in 2009, 85% of these dollars went to support local Jewish agencies and community programs, such as PJ Library, Business & Bagels, Jewish Community Relations Council, the Jewish Community News and Silicon Valley Celebrates Israel. Beneficiary agencies experienced the same level of support from the Federation as in 2008 despite the national economic downturn. Federation was able to accomplish this through the generous donations of community members and through significant administrative cost cutting measures. Opportunity grants were also awarded through a matching grant from the Koret Foundation to programs which demonstrated community collaboration. To get involved, make a pledge or request more information, please contact Jyl Jurman, CEO at 408-357-7500.
