f<br />
or 76 years, the <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Federation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> County has been<br />
a unifying force for <strong>Jewish</strong> community-building and philanthropy,<br />
combining expertise and resources to create positive, life-changing results<br />
for people in need, for our friends in Israel and for a more engaged,<br />
inspired and stronger future for the <strong>Jewish</strong> community here and throughout<br />
the world. <strong>Federation</strong> was established in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> in 1936 by a small group <strong>of</strong><br />
visionaries before Israel became a state, when the <strong>Jewish</strong> population in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />
was less than 4,000 people. Together with our partners and supporters, we have<br />
been instrumental in helping to develop <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> as one <strong>of</strong> the leading <strong>Jewish</strong><br />
communities in the country. Our community has grown to 100,000, yet our purpose<br />
remains constant: to create a more vibrant <strong>Jewish</strong> community in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>, Israel<br />
and throughout the world. <strong>Federation</strong> is a key part <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the most successful<br />
philanthropic networks that has existed to date, raising and distributing billions <strong>of</strong><br />
dollars annually through <strong>Jewish</strong> <strong>Federation</strong>s <strong>of</strong> North America, to meet the needs <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>Jewish</strong> people in a coordinated fashion focused on maximum impact.<br />
Help change the world by making a gift to the <strong>Federation</strong>’s Annual Campaign<br />
and by becoming involved in <strong>Federation</strong> volunteer, educational and networking<br />
opportunities. Together we do extraordinary things!

JEWISH CARING<br />
Our <strong>Jewish</strong> community has a long tradition <strong>of</strong><br />
humanitarianism. The broad reach <strong>of</strong> <strong>Federation</strong> and<br />
our partners, JDC and the <strong>Jewish</strong> Agency, assures that<br />
we, as a community, can respond instantly to assist<br />
those in need. In addition to emergency response<br />
work, our network <strong>of</strong> partners in the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />
<strong>Jewish</strong> community, like <strong>Jewish</strong> Family Service and<br />
Seacrest Village, works tirelessly to care for those in<br />
need. Together, we provide a safety net upon which<br />
our most vulnerable depend. Under the current<br />
economic challenges faced by our community, many<br />
long-time donors have now found themselves on<br />
the other side <strong>of</strong> the table. It has been heartening<br />
for many to find the caring hand they had been<br />
supporting for many years is now there for them in<br />
their time <strong>of</strong> need.<br />
