The Jewish Federation of Greater Portland is the voice of our local Jewish community. For thousands of years, the Jewish people have had a tradition of taking care of people in desperate need. Today, that tradition continues through the work of the Jewish Federation. The Federation is the central planning, coordinating, and fundraising body for a wide range of local and international agencies that offer the entire community a broad spectrum of humanitarian programs. The Federation's annual fundraising campaign supports integral social service programs and is the largest annual fundraising endeavor in the Jewish community.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Portland was founded in 1920 and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
