2024 Annual Community Campaign comes to historic end!

By Rosalee Bogo, 2024 Annual Community Campaign Chair

With great excitement we share with you that we have reached the 2024 Annual Campaign goal of $1,750,000! This is the most we have ever raised for an Annual Campaign. We are grateful to our donors and to all who worked on the campaign to bring us to this outstanding number. What a milestone for Jewish Federation of Greater Naples.

Making this number even more amazing is that our community also raised more than $1 million for the Israel Emergency Relief Fund. What a generous and caring community we are! We are thrilled to report this and are so grateful to our many solicitors who helped bring us to this point. Thank you to all donors for both of these important campaigns.

Where do these funds go? We just completed the allocation process and made decisions on where and to whom the funds will go. Those on the committee heard the needs of our local and domestic partners; they heard the needs of Israel and overseas/national organizations; and they assessed the amounts we give to JFNA for our agencies JAFI, JDC and Israel Action Network. We support 22 agencies here in Naples which are innovative Jewish educational and unity programs. We are proudly rated a Four-Star Charity on Charity Navigator — their highest rating.

We transform lives and build community through the support of individuals, organizations and advocacy efforts.

We cultivate Jewish identity and connection, engaging our community through enriching programs and experiences.

We support Israel and the Jewish people worldwide advocating on key issues and providing humanitarian assistance. We will continue to do all this and more.
