Inspiring Philanthropy
We know the Jewish community. For nearly 100 years, Minneapolis Jewish Federation has served as a planner and convener for our Jewish community, bringing people and organizations together to address issues, problems, and opportunities. With this experience, we have insights into the community’s evolving strengths and needs — which helps us serve as a funder to address and sustain its priorities.
We know philanthropy.
Our talented professionals and lay leaders remain up to date on philanthropic and Jewish engagement trends and services so that we are able to advise and teach current and future generations about the importance of giving, our community’s top needs, how to fund those needs, and how to inspire others to join them in giving.
Whatever Jewish cause you want to support, and whichever way you choose to do so, Federation is here for you. A gift to Federation touches more Jewish lives than any other gift in our community.
Give to the annual Community Campaign
Harness the power of our community in a one-stop shop to cover local and global Jewish needs. Each year, thousands of community members like you give meaningful gifts to our Minneapolis Community Campaign, which in turn supports unrestricted and evolving community needs at more than 60 organizations and programs locally, nationally, and around the world.
Donate to a specific cause through Impact Focused Funding
We’re piloting a new way of raising and distributing a portion of Community Campaign dollars to respond to community-identified needs and donor interests.
Leave A Legacy
Ensuring that our beloved Jewish community is around for future generations is important to so many of us. We can help identify your passions and advise you on how to leave a legacy that will benefit you, your family, and future generations.
