Negev Funding Coalition Chair and Toni Young for their vision and leadership.

The story of Federation's success is told not only by dollars raised but by lives changed; by realities improved and hopes restored. Every day, Federation makes our community and the world a better place by acting on our shared Jewish values of caring and compassion (
chesed), facilitating Jewish learning (Torah), repairing the world (
tikkun olam) and social justice (
tzedakah).
TOGETHER We Are Federation.
