The Union for Reform Judaism provides vision and leadership to Reform Jews and congregations on spiritual, ethical, social justice and management issues. It provides programmatic support to Reform Jewish congregations and offers opportunities for individual growth and identity that few congregations could provide by themselves, such as camps and Israel programs for youth, study kallot and North American and regional biennials.

2. United Jewish Communities

United Jewish Communities represents 189 Jewish Federations and 400 independent communities across North America. In 2004, 700,000 people contributed over $2 billion to enable the UJC to provide life-saving and life-enhancing assistance to millions of vulnerable Jews and non-Jews through a wide range of social service delivery programs.

A gift to the UJC Federation Annual Campaign provides unrestricted funds to meet urgent, ongoing humanitarian and social service needs of the global Jewish people, to encourage and support Jewish education and Jewish community, and to strengthen the relationship between North American Jews and Israeli people. Part of your gift remains in our own community, helping to strengthen our federation, a premier provider of programs to safeguard and enhance Jewish life at home. Part goes to meet overseas needs through partners like JAFI and JDC. These dollars help build the Jewish homeland and rebuild strong Jewish communities in over 60 countries around the world.
