Annual Report

Dear Friends,

As we reflect on this past year, we are filled with profound gratitude for the strength, resilience, and generosity of our Bay Area Jewish community.

In a time of unprecedented challenge and change both at home and in Israel, we have proven time and again that we are strongest when we stand together. From bolstering community security and combating antisemitism to strengthening Jewish life for all ages — your partnership has made transformative impact possible.

The pages that follow tell the story of what we have accomplished together — stories of families lifted from crisis to stability, of young people finding Jewish joy and pride, of seniors aging with dignity, and of a community that refuses to let anyone face hardship alone.

Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your unwavering commitment to shaping the future of Jewish life and building a legacy that endures.

With gratitude,

Joy Sisisky

President and
Chief Executive Officer

Strengthening Jewish Identity

In the face of rising antisemitism, it’s important to make the most of every opportunity to celebrate Jewish joy. A core tenet of the Federation’s mission, nurturing authentic Jewish identity, is more urgent than ever. At every life stage — from preschool through retirement — the Federation funds transformative programs that bring people together in lasting ways, fostering pride, resilience, and connection. From scholarships for Jewish day schools, camps, and Israel travel, to grants for Northern California Hillels, JCCs, and programs like Diller Teen Fellows, the Federation empowers community members to engage creatively and confidently with Jewish culture and values.

In FY2025, the Federation funded:

  • $2.5M+ for scholarships and incentives supporting youth participation in immersive Jewish experiences, like Jewish day schools and overnight camps, and travel to Israel.
  • $1.7M+ in grants to the 5 largest Bay Area JCCs and 8 Northern California Hillels, creating safe spaces that foster a sense of community and strengthen Jewish identity.
  • PJ Library and PJ Our Way Jewish-themed books for 9.1k children and to 46 Jewish organizations.

The Federation continues to be instrumental in helping us to lower the financial barrier for more families every year — we couldn’t do this work without them.

– Becca Meyer, Camp Tawonga CEO

CAMP TAWONGA

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: CAMP TAWONGA

This year marked the 100th anniversary of longtime Federation grantee Camp Tawonga — a milestone for an institution that’s become far more than a summer camp. Founded by San Francisco Jewish community leaders in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Tawonga’s mission has remained steady: to create a loving, inclusive Jewish environment where children gain self-confidence, explore spirituality, and connect with their truest selves. The result? Generations of campers who embrace compassion, community, and a commitment to tikkun olam (repairing the world).   

Ellen Nystrom, a camper in the mid-1980s, shares, “Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of exposure to Judaism through my family. Camp Tawonga was probably my main exposure and probably the reason why I came back to Judaism as an adult.” When Ellen was a counselor in the 1990s, she met her future husband, Erik Rice. Erik remarks, “Camp Tawonga is our family’s origin story.”    

Looking ahead, Tawonga continues to adapt. In the past decade, it has invested in sustainability and inclusivity through projects like a solar array, kitchen garden, upgraded cabins, and a gender-inclusive bathhouse.  

As ever, Camp Tawonga remains a place of joy, belonging, and connection — not just a camp, but a home for thousands across generations.

Tawonga is a huge part of my life. I come here to make lots of new memories. I come for the friends I made here. I come to Tawonga because I love the community. I come to connect with people and nature. It’s a place of peace and an escape from the real world. It’s a place where I can take a pause and be myself. It’s a place that makes me feel loved, safe, and comforted.

– 2025 Camper

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: PJ LIBRARY

I have two boys, eight and ten, brought up in Los Angeles reading PJ Library books. When we moved to San Francisco, the stories came with us, threading into our family rhythms in our new city, too. After October 7, I co-founded a grassroots group as a resource for Jewish parents from all the K-8 independent schools in the city of San Francisco. Soon after, I got a call from Joy Sisisky, Federation President and Chief Executive Officer, who invited me to help expand PJ Library Bay Area into schools. She connected me with Vivien Braly, the Federation’s Director of Community Partnerships and Grantmaking, and that was the beginning.

We piloted the program at my sons’ school, Town School for Boys. Vivien curated age-appropriate books and curriculum guides, delivered in a polished package. We added PJ Library stickers to every book, making the program visible to families and teachers alike.

The impact was immediate. Parents responded with excitement and relief, and feedback from librarians confirmed the deeper value: not just books, but an invitation to share Jewish stories with pride.

Town’s success proved the model. By May, five more independent schools joined, with nearly 20 more in the pipeline through our parent network.

– Liz Ross, Parent/Mother and Advocate

PJ LIBRARY

Caring for People in Need

The true measure of any society is how we treat our most vulnerable. The Federation supports a robust network of Jewish humanitarian and social service agencies that provide essential services for at-risk community members including seniors, immigrants, families in crisis, and people facing housing insecurity. Programs offer counseling, healthcare access, food security, cash assistance, and critical support when it’s needed most.

This year, $1.3M was granted to Bay Area human services organizations, including Jewish Family and Children’s Services (JFCS), Jewish Family and Community Services (JFCS) East Bay, Shalom Bayit, and the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living, plus over $1M was awarded to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) to care for Jews in need around the world.

In 2025, Federation grants helped:

  • Nearly 1k low-income immigrants and refugees receive pro bono legal services.
  • 2.1k+ seniors access transportation for basic needs, vital health services, and senior excursions.
  • 2k+ individuals participate in programs designed to end gender-based violence.
  • 55.5k+ vulnerable Jews receive essential services since the war in Ukraine began in 2022 through JDC.

At our campus, older adults are connecting over meals, spending time with family, playing cards, studying Torah, creating remarkable works of art, and participating in fitness and performing arts activities. These moments of celebration and collective care reflect our Jewish values of community, compassion, and excellence.

– Dr. Adrienne Green, President & CEO, San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living

SUPPORTING JEWISH SENIORS

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: AMERICAN JEWISH JOINT DISTRIBUTION COMMITTEE (JDC)

In war-torn Ukraine, where the conflict has continued to rage since 2022, Victoria O., manager of online activities at the JDC-supported Hesed Menahem social welfare center in Dnipro, has opened a virtual door to Jewish life for elderly Jews facing loneliness and fear. She leads Let’s Get Connected, a program offering more than 50 virtual activities — from Hebrew and book clubs to music and trauma support — helping homebound seniors find meaning and connection amid chaos.

Part of JDC’s JOINTECH initiative, the project provides specially adapted smartphones so seniors can access Jewish life despite blackouts and air-raid sirens. For many, these sessions are their only constant — a lifeline of friendship, faith, and tradition.

As a Federation grantee, JDC brings hope, connection, and Jewish continuity to thousands of vulnerable people who might otherwise be isolated.

Victoria draws inspiration from her deep Jewish roots and years caring for her parents, channeling their love into every session. “We come together not just to survive, but to live in the moment,” she says. Through every class and smile, she helps ensure that — even in darkness — Jewish life in Ukraine continues to shine. 

Since 2021, over 7,000 seniors have joined the program, finding joy, learning, and community.

AMERICAN JEWISH JOINT DISTRIBUTION COMMITTEE
SHALOM BAYIT

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: SHALOM BAYIT

For more than three decades, Shalom Bayit has been the Bay Area’s leading voice addressing domestic violence in the Jewish community. A Federation grantee, its mission is rooted in Jewish values: to help survivors find safety, break the silence around abuse, and create a community grounded in respect, dignity, and compassion.

A critical part of this mission is dispelling the myth that domestic violence doesn’t happen in the Jewish community. It does. And when it does, Shalom Bayit is there with counseling, safe housing resources, legal advocacy, and emergency financial support. The Federation’s grant helped distribute $20,000 in emergency aid — allowing women and children to live safely and independently. Each grant represents a life rebuilt, with ripple effects for families, congregations, and communities.

After October 7, 2023, Shalom Bayit faced a 25% drop in donations. With the Federation’s support, it ensured uninterrupted services: supporting 145 domestic violence and sexual harassment survivors, educating 1,600 adults in prevention, and reaching 1,815 youth through its Love Shouldn’t Hurt program, which has empowered nearly 20,000 teens since 2002 to build healthy relationships rooted in Jewish values.

By creating safety and breaking silence, Shalom Bayit not only transforms lives — it strengthens the entire Jewish community.

Domestic violence and sexual harassment are such hidden problems in our community. Every time we talk about them, breaking that silence opens the door for more people to feel safe coming forward to get help. And every time we help one person out of danger, we are not only changing that one life but also impacting her children, her family, her workplace, and all the people around her. Taking gender-based violence out of the shadows builds a safer Jewish community for all.

– Naomi Tucker, Founding Executive Director

Combating Antisemitism

According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), antisemitic incidents in the U.S. have risen by 344% over the past five years, including antisemitic flyers, graffiti, physical attacks, and calls to boycott Jewish businesses. Our sense of safety and belonging is being threatened and now, more than ever, having a strong Jewish voice is essential. Together with our partners like JCRC Bay Area, the Jewish Public Affairs Committee (JPAC), and dozens of community-based organizations, the Federation is engaging in legislative and grassroots advocacy, and building understanding through anti-bias training and Holocaust education.  

As the go-to resource in Northern California for all matters relating to Jewish security, the Federation is also providing comprehensive training and guidance to Jewish organizations and synagogues on emergency preparedness and response, advising on potential threats, and assisting in securing state and federal security funding. 

In FY2025, the Federation:

  • Helped secure $6.9M+ in state and federal security funding for Bay Area Jewish institutions.
  • Trained 1k individuals in basic security skills and threat awareness and conducted 50 site assessments to determine organizational security needs.
  • Granted $1.95M to 59 organizations to engage in grassroots and statewide advocacy, Holocaust education, and/or anti-bias training for K-12 educators and administrators.
  • Helped JPAC and JCRC advocate for and get signed into law state legislation to counter antisemitism in K-12 schools (AB 715) and Holocaust and genocide education (SB 472).

The training opened our eyes to the depth and complexity of antisemitism today. We not only learned how to recognize it more clearly, but also how to lead meaningful educational conversations around it. I now feel better equipped to support Jewish students directly, while also fostering understanding and inclusivity for all the students in my classroom.

– Bay Area Educator, Israeli-American Council training participant

THE 2025 JPAC CAPITOL SUMMIT IN SACRAMENTO

As a founding partner and permanent board member of the Jewish Public Affairs Committee (JPAC), the Federation provides strategic partnership and financial support, playing a deep and influential role in shaping statewide policy. In May 2025, the Federation brought professionals and volunteers to the JPAC Capitol Summit in Sacramento, joining a record-breaking 600+ advocates.

Federation President and Chief Executive Officer Joy Sisisky moderated a panel on Democracy and the Jewish Ethic, while participants held over 110 meetings with state lawmakers to advance key priorities: combating antisemitism in schools, improving Holocaust education, increasing support for aging survivors, and expanding food assistance for Californians in need. The Federation also sponsored record attendance for Bay Area leaders and representatives from BACCA (Bay Area Center to Counter Antisemitism), a Federation grantee.

Jewish Public Affairs Committee

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: BAY AREA CENTER TO COUNTER ANTISEMITISM (BACCA)

The brainchild of two Federation board members — Guy Miasnik and Susan Saal — alongside passionate community organizers, the Bay Area Center to Counter Antisemitism (BACCA) launched in late 2024 to coordinate, amplify, and empower grassroots groups working to counter antisemitism. In just a year, BACCA has transitioned from an idea into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, supporting a growing network of grassroots partners across the Peninsula, Marin, San Francisco, and the East Bay, covering 77 school districts and 50 municipalities.   

Seven grassroots groups are at the forefront of this movement. They actively mobilize the community, ensuring that incidents of antisemitism in K-12 and municipal spaces are effectively addressed. They build relationships and collaborate with officials and candidates in cities and school districts, as well as with community partners and allies, to effectively counter antisemitism — advocating for policies and reform, challenging discriminatory measures, addressing bias in education, promoting inclusive curricula, and celebrating Jewish heritage.  

In a time of rising antisemitism, BACCA has emerged as an engine to empower the surge in grassroot engagement and foster meaningful collaboration with the broader Jewish ecosystem. As they continue their vital work, the message is clear: collective action — fueled by community support and strategic organization — can make a profound difference in safeguarding the future of the Bay Area Jewish community.

BACCA is filling a void of local grassroots empowerment that the community didn’t realize it had. I give the Federation a lot of credit for seeing this as it emerged, recognizing its powerful impact, and supporting it as a vital lever and innovative model for protecting our community.

– Susan Saal, BACCA Co-Founder

BACCA

Promoting Justice and Inclusion

Rooted in the Jewish tradition of tzedek (pursuing justice), the Federation strengthens relationships and partnerships to build capacity and foster inclusion, particularly among at-risk groups like people with special needs, LGBTQIA+ individuals, Jews of Color (JOC), and others.

These efforts ensure that everyone feels welcomed and empowered to fully participate in Jewish life by advancing diversity, equity, and accessibility.

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z”l said, “Judaism is about the miracle of unity that creates diversity.”

In FY2025, Federation supported:

  • 550 individuals who received training on how to support LGBTQIA+ equality through Keshet
  • 120+ educators from 28 Bay Area organizations to receive training on inclusion for youth with special needs from Jewish LearningWorks.
  • 80 children and teens to take part in Be’chol Lashon’s summer camp for ethnically and racially diverse Jews.
  • 200+ Bay Area participants in Jewtina y Co.’s programming that celebrates and elevates Latin-Jewish identity. 

I’m so proud to live in a community that values innovation, creativity, and has really created a lot of change. I have a lot of gratitude for the Federation really being the backbone that supports that culture of innovation, change, new ideas, and thinking outside of the box.

– Sarah Levin, Executive Director, JIMENA

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: JEWTINA Y CO.

Jewtina y Co., a Federation grantee, is weaving belonging into the fabric of Jewish life through the power of storytelling. Jewtina y Co. empowers diverse voices, honors heritage, and sparks intergenerational connection.

Over the past year, Jewtina y Co. has brought its mission to communities across San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. Through partnerships with the JCC of San Francisco, East Bay JCC, PJ Library, Olamim, and the Jewish Community Library, Jewtina y Co. created spaces where families, young adults, and elders alike could see their experiences reflected in Jewish life.

From leadership development to creative workshops and live events, Jewtina y Co.’s programs remind us that storytelling is more than words; it is a pathway to identity, resilience, and belonging.

The Federation’s partnership has been vital in supporting Jewtina y Co.’s growth. With this support, Jewtina y Co. has been able to scale its programs, nurture young leaders, and reach new audiences eager for connection.

By investing in Jewtina y Co., donors and stakeholders are uplifting stories that matter, ensuring a thriving, inclusive Jewish future for all.

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: BE’CHOL LASHON

For more than twenty years, Be’chol Lashon has created spaces where racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse Jews feel seen, celebrated, and empowered. With support from the Federation, the organization continues to expand its impact through storytelling and community building.

One of its most exciting new projects is Hyphen, an anthology of 12 illustrated stories that highlight the voices of Jews from many backgrounds — Bukharian, Asian American, Ethiopian, transgender, and more. Hyphen is paired with curriculum to spark conversations in schools, congregations, JCCs, and beyond. In today’s polarized world, these stories serve as bridges — fostering empathy, representation, and connection.

At the same time, Camp Be’chol Lashon remains a cornerstone. Now in its 15th year, the camp is the only one of its kind, welcoming children from across the country and the world to explore Jewish identity in a joyful, inclusive setting. Thanks to scholarships made possible by the Federation, no child is ever turned away for financial reasons. Last summer, the camp nearly matched its record enrollment, a testament to its enduring importance.

The Federation is proud to support Be’chol Lashon in building a Jewish community as diverse and vibrant as the world we live in.

Kids wait all year for this experience. It’s often the only place where they can bring their full identities and be surrounded by peers who understand them. That sense of belonging is what makes the camp so powerful and so needed.

– Julian Voloj, Executive Director, Be’chol Lashon

Rebuilding Israel Together

In the aftermath of October 7, communities across Israel are moving from crisis to renewal, and the Federation’s staff in Israel are working alongside our partners every step of the way. What began as an urgent response has evolved into a long-term commitment to recovery, resilience, and collective healing.

The Federation focused on trauma relief, rebuilding communities, and economic recovery as well as bridging social divides and inclusive civic engagement.

In FY2025, Federation funding to organizations like JDC, Jindas, and Wuste Tsege helped to:

  • Provide 1M+ Israelis with direct emergency aid, education, welfare, employment, and social services, and mental health support.
  • Support arts, culture, and heritage events for 3.1k+ people from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds in Lod, Yeruda, and Tiberias to strengthen community connections.
  • Subsidize 1k+ culturally appropriate therapy sessions for Ethiopian Jews to reduce trauma symptoms and increase emotional regulation.
  • Provide 400 Bedouin children and their families with educational workshops in unrecognized villages to strengthen emotional resilience and family stability.

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: SOLVIE

Solvie helps Israelis navigate complex bureaucratic systems to access the rights and benefits they deserve. Founded to address the growing strain on Israel’s social services, Solvie provides both professional support and technological tools that make social care more accessible and effective.

Solvie partners with municipalities, social organizations, and public agencies to streamline responses to residents’ inquiries on issues such as housing, employment, debt, and social rights. Their approach blends human expertise with an advanced digital system that analyzes requests, identifies patterns, and generates customized, practical solutions. With Federation support, Solvie has expanded its reach and strengthened its internal capacity to serve more Israelis in need, including reservists and their families.

By combining empathy, professional expertise, and technology, Solvie eases the burden on social service departments and empowers individuals to access critical resources, helping build a more responsive, equitable, and resilient Israeli society.

GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT: THE ONE HUNDRED INITIATIVE

In honor of Israel’s one hundredth anniversary, the One Hundred Initiative is building a brighter future for Israel by championing ideas, policy, and leadership that unite the country’s political center as a force for stability and progress. Additionally, the Initiative is investing in strengthening Israel’s public education system to ensure it instills the values of the Declaration of Independence and upholds Israel’s character as a Jewish and democratic state.

At the heart of this work is the Hebrew Statist Education Council, founded by the Initiative as an inspiring, grassroots movement restoring meaning and purpose to Israel’s largest educational stream. The Council brings together passionate educators, parents, and students to rebuild a shared foundation rooted in Israeli Judaism, democracy, Zionism, and humanism. Through hands-on partnerships with local schools, the Council develops innovative teaching frameworks, empowers leaders, and creates communities where students thrive with a deep sense of belonging and resilience.

In these challenging times of division, this work has never been more vital. With the Federation’s partnership, the One Hundred Initiative and Hebrew Statist Education Council are reimagining Israel’s public education to guide the nation toward a future filled with unity, possibility, and hope.

THE ONE HUNDRED INITIATIVE

INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY PHILANTHROPY

The Federation is grateful to all the individuals and families who partner with us for their personal philanthropy. Grants from Federation donor-advised funds (DAFs) and supporting foundations address the needs of the Jewish community and beyond, from antisemitism and civil rights to education and human services.

Donor-Advised Fund Grants: $80.5M

Grant $ by Region

In addition to streamlining our philanthropic giving, having a Federation DAF has connected us with a greater community of people, many of whom are now genuine friends. It’s a real value add.

– Julie and Buddy Arnheim, Los Altos Hills

Collective Impact Portfolios

While visiting the Federation donor-advised fund (DAF) portal, Helen Bulwik discovered the Federation’s four new Collective Impact Portfolios that combat antisemitism and strengthen democracy. “It was a no brainer for me to check every single box and make a contribution to each one. I was so struck by it, and I feel the need for this so deeply that I just created grants for each one of them. I was compelled.”

By pooling capital from Federation DAFs, the Collective Impact Portfolios support a Federation-vetted suite of organizations tackling antisemitism head-on. Each Collective Impact Portfolio approaches combating antisemitism in a unique way, so donors can allocate their gifts to whichever portfolios resonate most for them.

Susan Mall and her husband Jay chose to donate to the Collective Impact Portfolios to create a better future for their children and grandchildren. Susan explained, “Antisemitism is such an enormous problem, and we really don’t know what the best strategy is to combat it. So, I liked the idea that there were several organizations working on this — hopefully with different strategies.”

THE MAISIN FOUNDATION: A 30-YEAR LEGACY OF GIVING

As an immigrant who fled Europe through China, and who later became a San Francisco longshoreman, Al Maisin was proud of his business and real estate success. He thoughtfully planned his philanthropic legacy and chose to partner with the Federation, a Jewish institution that serves the local, national, and global Jewish community.

As a supporting foundation of the Federation since 1995, the Maisin Foundation has distributed over $60 million — transforming lives across San Francisco and beyond. In the spirit of Al’s interests, a Maisin Scholars Program was created to provide over 1,500 college scholarships for San Francisco high school students, many of whom are the first in their family to attend a secondary school. 

The Foundation has also stepped up during times of challenge, supporting Jewish individuals in communities in need, including providing $2.5M for the Federation/American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) emergency support for Ukraine, and $2.5M for the Federation’s recent Israel Emergency Campaign.

The 30-year partnership between the Maisin Foundation and the Federation has been both financially efficient and effective. Its seasoned board brings vision and purpose while the Federation provides the professional infrastructure, expertise, and operational excellence that help ensure each dollar makes a difference. 

Rick Schiller, Foundation board president since 1995, expresses his only regret: that Al never had the chance to witness the impact of his generosity. So, he offers this advice: “Don’t wait. Build your foundation now and experience the joy of seeing your giving change lives.”

Impact Investing

The Federation has built one of the nation’s leading Jewish community impact investing programs, channeling resources from donor-advised funds and supporting foundations to help build a more inclusive and equitable economy. 

Through this work, we provide loans to mission-driven organizations serving communities that traditional financial services have left behind. Investments support areas such as financial inclusion, local Jewish community lending, quality affordable housing, environmental causes, capacity building, and education. Money invested is returned to Federation funds at the end of the loan term to be used again for investing or grantmaking.

Loan Spotlight: CATALYTIC CAPITAL FOR ISRAEL

Small businesses form the backbone of Israel’s economy, employing nearly half the workforce. Since the war began in 2023, many have faced devastating disruptions — halted tourism, reservist call-ups, and mass displacement — leading to widespread closures and urgent financial hardship. Despite their need, small and medium enterprises receive less than a quarter of total business credit, and no rapid relief fund existed when the crisis hit.

Drawing on its impact investing expertise, the Federation launched Catalytic Capital for Israel (CCI) — an innovative loan fund supporting small businesses through Israel’s leading social lenders, Ogen and the Koret Israel Economic Development Funds (KIEDF). These loans helped business owners sustain operations and jobs. By the end of 2024, the Federation had loaned over $1.63 million to Ogen and KIEDF.  

Unlike grants, CCI loans are repaid into charitable funds, allowing the same dollars to be recycled into future grants or loans, multiplying their impact.

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS

Building kehilla (community) isn’t just about gathering; it’s about creating joy. Across the Bay Area, the Federation brings people together through cultural events, holiday celebrations, and giving circles. Together, we honor leadership, amplify Jewish voices, and invest in a shared future. In rooms filled with inspiration and purpose, participants pool resources, make connections and discover what makes the Federation experience powerful: the collective impact of a community united in generosity.

Hosting this circle allowed me to foster a collaborative environment where we could identify local initiatives, support organizations combating Jew hatred, and amplify the voices of those affected by prejudice. This experience reinforced my belief that meaningful change happens when communities unite.

Giving Circles

In FY2025, the Federation:

  • Engaged 186 community members through 10 giving circles, directing $200k+ to causes that matter most to them, including:

    • Mashiv Ha’ruach, which supports trauma victims and helps build resilience in Israel.

    • Innovation Basecamp, which uses technology and human capital to connect government, academia, and private industry to foster economic growth in Israel.

  • Supported 45 teens in the Jewish Teen Foundation who raised $100k+ to support organizations working with formerly incarcerated individuals and teens in foster care.

COLLABORATIVE PHILANTHROPY POWERS A NEW ERA OF JEWISH GIVING

Over the past year, 10 giving circles united community members to support causes close to their hearts — and it’s the people and their passions that define this movement.

Across generations and geographies, participants built connections through generosity. Following the trauma of October 7, an intergenerational pop-up giving circle in Marin brought together parents and teens to support Israeli organizations providing mental health care for first responders and fostering youth resilience through nature — pikuach nefesh (saving lives) and klal yisrael (Jewish peoplehood) in action. On the Peninsula, women leaders came together to support recovery and resilience efforts in Israel and California, embodying chesed (loving-kindness).

After a Federation-partnered JDC Entwine trip to Croatia and Bosnia, a group of young adults launched a new giving circle supporting grassroots Jewish organizations in the Balkans, bringing l’dor v’dor (generation to generation) to life globally. Inspired by that same spirit, another circle focused locally, supporting initiatives combating antisemitism in the Bay Area — proof that meaningful change happens when communities unite.

During the Marin Intergenerational Pop-up Giving Circle, I loved learning about nonprofits in Israel doing amazing work, discussing with like-minded people, and doing it with our teens who all contributed in meaningful and thoughtful ways.

GIVING CIRCLE SPOTLIGHT: JEWISH PRIDE FUND

Now in its eighth year, the Jewish Pride Fund Giving Circle focuses on supporting LGBTQIA+ needs in Israel while continuing to grant funds for LGBTQIA+ Jews facing exclusion in progressive spaces here in the Bay Area. In FY2025, the Jewish Pride Fund granted $62,480, the largest grant pool since inception.

The Jewish Pride Fund reminds us that collaborative philanthropy isn’t just reactive, it’s also restorative. Together, participants are helping people belong, deeply connect with the organizational prospects and grantees, and lead within Jewish life.

Given all the negative news in the world, it feels satisfying to know that I’ve been able to make some positive change, in the spirit of tikkun olam (repairing the world), I’ve also greatly enjoyed meeting more like-minded LGBTQIA+ Jewish folks and celebrating our ethnic and religious heritage together.

Federation Events and Experiences

From the Day of Philanthropy honoring visionary community leaders to the Women’s Power of Giving Luncheon celebrating the strength and voices of Jewish women, Federation events brought generations together in shared purpose. The East Bay Chai Impact Series connected rising leaders and changemakers, while the Year in Review celebrated collective achievements made possible through partnership and generosity. These weren’t just gatherings; they were moments that strengthened bonds, sparked engagement, and built the vibrant Jewish future we’re creating together.

Our goal was to build community and bring people together — and that’s exactly what happened. It was incredibly rewarding to see it come to life. It wasn’t just the ‘old guard’; we really brought in a whole new generation this year.

– Lily Kanter, Federation board member and co-chair of the Women’s Power of Giving Luncheon
