Women's Philanthropy

Women’s Philanthropy began as a way for women to make a difference in the community. This division has grown to be the backbone of the Federation’s Annual Campaign and its impact in the community.

Women’s Philanthropy is a strong network of women in every stage of life and career. We care deeply about our Jewish community and do all we can to strengthen our community—now and for the future. Together, we learn about the diverse needs of our community, locally and across the globe, how different organizations meet those needs, and how we can make a positive impact.

For more information about Women’s Philanthropy, or to join one of these societies, contact the Women’s Philanthropy Director, Rebeca Kalontarov.

Pomegranate
