The Jewish Community Federation of Richmond is thrilled to announce that, thanks to the collective efforts of our community, we have surpassed our 2024 fundraising goals.

Your commitment enabled us to raise over $6 million, a significant milestone that speaks volumes about the impact we can make when we come together with a shared purpose.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the magnitude of our accomplishments:

  1. Exceeded Annual Campaign Goal:

Through your generous contributions, we have surpassed our goal of $3.1 million for the 2024 annual campaign, demonstrating our commitment to supporting the agencies, programs, and initiatives that sustain our community.

  1. Emergency Relief for Israel:

In response to the horrors of October 7, we raised over $2.2 million for the Israel Emergency Campaign, providing crucial, immediate assistance to victims and ensuring support reaches those who need it most. 100% of these funds are supporting the people of Israel.

  1. Additional Community Support:

Your compassion knows no bounds, as evidenced by the unprecedented $693,000 in additional supplemental gifts allocated to support specific community needs. These funds make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and families here in Richmond, across Virginia, and around the world.

These achievements are truly remarkable. In 2023, we raised $3.3 million overall, and in 2022, $3.5 million (which included nearly $400,000 for Ukraine relief). This underscores the increasing impact of our collective efforts and the vital role you play in driving positive change.

Your commitment extends beyond numbers. With nearly 3,000 gifts, each representing a belief in our mission and a commitment to making a difference, you have demonstrated the power of collective action and the strength of our community.

Please accept our deepest gratitude to you. Your unwavering dedication and generous support has transformed lives and inspired hope.

Looking ahead, let us continue to build on this momentum. We must remain united in our shared mission to create a brighter, safer, more inclusive future for all. Together, there is no limit to what we can achieve.

Once again, thank you for your extraordinary generosity and continued support. Your contributions are truly making a difference and shaping a better tomorrow for generations to come.
