Community Impact

Jewish Nevada's volunteer committees consider local community-building needs and global shared responsibilities, and then allocate funds accordingly. The impact of this collective funding of Federation allows us to constantly and consistently meet the needs of our Jewish family, no matter how far reaching - from across the street to across the state and around the world.

The Federation, through our system of community partner agencies and grantee organizations, is able to bring together every age and segment of our community to strengthen Jewish life. Our allocations grants provide meals and programs for seniors; quality Jewish education, scholarships and summer camps for children; Israel experiences for teens and young adults; counseling activities for families; and a variety of programming and initiatives that elevate our Jewish community.

Global Allocations

Funds are also allocated to national, Israel, and overseas programs that fight global Jewish poverty, connect the Jewish people, rescue Jews at risk and ensure an Israeli democracy dedicated to Jewish pluralism.

Allocation Process

Allocating Community Campaign funds is a fair, democratic, and participatory process. More than 60 volunteers spend 640 hours over six months to make sure your gift goes to the programs that most effectively address the most critical needs in our community, and best support and nurture Jewish life locally and globally. They make sure your gift will be used wisely and with the greatest impact.
