Where it's
Join Us.
We’re living through what might be the most consequential chapter in our shared history, with intensely competing pressures coming from every direction. The impact of war and climate change. Raging antisemitism. Rampant poverty. Uncharted alienation and loneliness. A rapidly changing world that feels on the brink.
We’re also witnessing a once-in-a-generation outpouring of Jewish pride and a hunger for Jewish life. And a tireless pursuit of safety and security — in New York, Israel, and around the world.
It isn’t philanthropy as usual.
The Jewish community — and New Yorkers of all backgrounds — need your full and undivided generosity.
ISRAEL: HEALING A NATION IN TRAUMA
We’re standing with the people of Israel through every stage and phase of this war. Until the nation recovers and rebuilds.
UJA LEADS THE WAY
We’re filling huge gaps in service, meeting acute, short-term needs while also investing in what’s needed longer-term to heal physically, mentally, and economically.
FIGHTING ANTISEMITISM
After October 7, incidents in the U.S. soared by 200%. There’s no one approach that will completely dismantle antisemitism. But that doesn’t mean we’re not going to use every resource, every strategy, every relationship at our disposal to diminish the threat.
UJA LEADS THE WAY
We’re doubling down on security and advocacy. Standing with and strengthening the voices of our allies. Investing in what works and recalibrating to meet new issues as they arise.
Caring for New Yorkers in Need
The constant struggle to make ends meet is a painful reality for far too many of our neighbors, including one in five Jewish households. As a major leader in the New York social service arena, we’ll keep innovating to reach more people, more effectively. With dignity front and center.
UJA LEADS THE WAY
From how we feed people to how we’re taking on the loneliness epidemic, we’re breaking new ground in how care is delivered.
RESPONDING TO CRISES
Natural disasters leave communities locally and across the world reeling from the destruction caused by wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and other forces of nature. We can't always know when disaster will strike — but we can be ready. And we have the resources and experience to work with our partners to rebuild lives.
UJA LEADS THE WAY
We work with our partners on the ground to deliver humanitarian aid wherever it's needed — and we have the infrastructure in place to respond at a moment's notice.
Why UJA?
WE GET (BIG) THINGS DONE.
As the ultimate connector, we convene and sit at the table — every table — influencing the influencers and making sure our voices are heard.
WE’RE NIMBLE IN CRISIS AND EVERY DAY.
We respond on multiple fronts simultaneously and at a moment’s notice. And though we can’t know what will strike next, we’re always ready.
WE’RE A WIDE-OPEN TENT.
We offer a safe, welcoming communal space, an antidote to societal divisiveness and incivility. And that has never mattered more.
In this
fast-changing world,
your support is
what's needed most.
