The Jewish Federation of North America / The Jewish Federation of Las Vegas, represents the voice of the organized Jewish community. Bound together by shared history, traditions, and common values, it seeks to assure Jewish continuity in Las Vegas, in Israel, and around the world, by preserving, strengthening, and enhancing Jewish life, and transmitting these values to succeeding generations.

The Jewish Federation seeks to develop a Jewish community based on the ideals of  Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and Tzedakah (righteousness, charity, and social justice), and create a positive identification with Judaism, Israel, and the Jewish people.

The Jewish Federation is volunteers and professionals working together to fundraise, allocate, plan and coordinate services in response to Jewish needs in Las Vegas, in Israel, and around the world and to fulfill our role as American citizens to strengthen and advance the ideals of democracy.

Who We Are

The Jewish Federation of North America / Jewish Federation of Las Vegas, a non-profit organization, is the central coordinating body for fundraising, planning, allocations, and communal services for the Jewish community.  A well-established, and widely-regarded humanitarian organization, the Federation has served the Las Vegas community for the last three decades and has raised nearly $45 million to support Jewish causes here in Las Vegas, in Israel and in 59 countries around the world.

Caring for the Community

Throughout history, in small towns and large cities, it was the custom of Jewish communities to create a community fund to care for one another.  This guaranteed the privacy and dignity of those in need.  It also began the development of a communal structure for centralized giving.  Today, our community fund is The Jewish Federation of North America / Jewish Federation of Las Vegas’ annual campaign.  Federation is the central address of the greater Las Vegas Jewish community – the place where Jews come together to care for their own.

Your Dollars Save Lives

Caring for the most vulnerable is at the heart of our mission. To that end, we support vital programs and services to ensure that needs are met: reaching out to the elderly, to children and adults in times of need and to those facing poverty and hunger. We provide the lifeline that allows so many of our people to live with independence, dignity and hope.  To support The Jewish Federation of North America / Jweish Federation of Las Vegas, click here.

Carrying on the Tradition

We remain committed to ensuring that our heritage is passed on to our children and to providing opportunities for lifelong learning. The Federation promotes and advances Jewish education by providing funding and programmatic support for formal and informal Jewish learning on all levels. 

Developing Financial Resources

The Federation is committed to building community and developing the financial resources to fulfill our local, national and overseas commitments to our worldwide Jewish family. Funds are raised from a variety of sources, including the annual community campaign, endowment development, special campaigns, and grants from individuals, foundations, the government and corporations. Through your annual commitment to the community campaign, we can make a difference in so many lives, connecting together individual acts of caring for the rescue, care and spiritual rebirth of Jews everywhere.

The Jewish Community Foundation, the endowment development program of The Jewish Federation of North America / Jewish Federation of Las Vegas, serves as the focal point for planned giving for the greater Las Vegas community, working to fulfill our growing community’s long-term needs. Throughout the year we have worked with many individuals and families and their legal and financial advisors to structure planned gifts that have met the donor’s estate and tax planning challenges while providing significant resources for the future well being of our community.  If you would like more information on endowments, please email us at info@jewishlasvegas.com
