Annual Campaign 2025

ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

WHERE YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Federation cares for people in need here at home, in Israel, and around the world. We respond in times of crisis, and we nurture the Jewish community today and for future generations. The Jewish Federation is all of us— the members of our community, working together to repair the world and to keep Jewish life strong and thriving.  

The Annual Campaign embodies the values and traditions of the North American Jewish Community more than anything else we do. It says that we care about people, not their politics or religious practices. It says that we will - as a community - address critical, often life-threatening, issues.

Jewish Federation of Delaware has received top ratings for being a trusted and transparent organization by the premier industry evaluators of non-profits: Guide Star, Great Nonprofits, and Charity Navigator.  Making a gift to the Jewish Federation of Delaware is easy.  You can Donate Online or call us at (302) 427-2100 to donate or make a pledge.  You may also contact Patti Gibson May, Advancement Director, for more information at Patti@ShalomDel.org.
