The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore

The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore strengthens and nurtures Jewish life by engaging and supporting community partners, while meeting both immediate and emerging needs in Greater Baltimore, Israel and around the world.

Every year, The Associated raises tens of millions of dollars through the collaboration and commitment of hundreds of volunteers, thousands of donors and many community partners. Our purpose is simple: We bring people together to think big, act bold, repair the world, and shape our future.

Together we address the alarming rise of antisemitism and hate in all forms. We secure our institutions, advocate for legislation, support educational programming, and foster dialogue with community partners to create a world built on mutual respect and tolerance.

Together we uplift those in our community who are facing financial hardship by addressing the root causes of poverty and providing essential assistance—we offer financial aid, access to food, safe shelter, guidance initiatives, and more—we make sure no one is left behind.

Together we are investing in mental wellness. We provide a support network that offers counseling, resources and compassionate care to those grappling with mental health challenges. We provide the tools needed for resilience, healing, and a brighter future.

Together we celebrate diversity and embrace inclusion. We are building a culture of belonging so that every Jew, regardless of race and ethnicity, can feel welcome. By supporting programs that provide access to education, employment, and social integration, we are empowering individuals with disabilities to reach their full potential.

There are many ways we can make a difference TOGETHER.

Volunteer with us, spearhead a fundraiser, attend events, recruit a friend, join a committee, advocate for a fair and just world, meet up with other people who share your perspective or profession or honor a friend with a tribute e-card.
