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 its Annual Campaign to address the many community needs. We support and implement solutions that help us care for the vulnerable, enhance Jewish life, create a just and inclusive world and ensure Jewish communities worldwide thrive.
Dollars raised from the Annual Campaign help support the work of our network of agencies. Over the past few years, we navigated a global pandemic, addressed the traumatic impact of the mental health fallout of COVID-19 on our youngest generation, enhanced security and educated about antisemitism and hate across Baltimore communities and provided support for the massive humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ukraine.
We are there to make sure that those who are struggling can meet life’s challenges. Whether it’s with a hot meal delivered to a homebound elderly person, an emergency loan to pay a month’s rent, special help for a child with learning differences or an overnight shelter that keeps a victim of abuse safe, we are providing a safety net for those who need it most.
In addition, The Associated is committed to strengthening the community in which we live. Our work ranges from revitalizing neighborhoods in Park Heights and addressing food insecurity to addressing antisemitism and hate, while also leading conversations across race, faith and ethnic communities that build mutual understanding and respect.
