OUR INITIATIVES

Inspiring Philanthropy

For nearly a century, the Minneapolis Jewish Federation has been a trusted philanthropic leader, guiding resources where they’re needed most. MJF works to align donors, community leaders, and organizations to address pressing needs and lasting priorities. With this insight, we direct funding to create meaningful, lasting impact for our Jewish community.

We Know Philanthropy

Our skilled professionals and dedicated lay leaders stay informed on the latest trends in philanthropy and Jewish communal engagement. We work to instill the value of giving, teach how to identify and fund top community priorities, and inspire a culture of generosity that spans generations.

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

When you give to the Minneapolis Community Campaign, you become part of a powerful, collective effort to care for Jewish life near and far. Your single gift supports over 60 trusted organizations, adapting to evolving needs and strengthening our community at every level—from local initiatives to global responses.

Support Our Israel Emergency Campaign

Part of Federation’s commitment includes rapid response during crisis. In the wake of October 7th and still continuing to this day, the Tikvatenu campaign has been delivering aid and support to people in need in Israel.

Leave A Legacy

The future of our Jewish community is a priority we all share. We’re here to help you define your philanthropic goals and build a meaningful legacy that supports both your family and the generations to come.
