The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle was established in 1926. By 1948, the year the Jewish state of Israel was established, our annual campaign was raising $ 652,000 from 3,651 contributors. Today, the Jewish Federation raises around $ 6 million with $ 30 million in our endowment.

During the late 90’s and ‘00s, our mission was «to ensure Jewish survival and enhance the quality of Jewish life locally, in Israel and worldwide.»
