THE JEWISH FEDERATION OF SARASOTA-MANATEE

For over 60 years, The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee has been the center of Jewish life for Sarasota and Manatee counties. Our mission is to strengthen Jewish life and identity in our community, provide for Jewish people in need and promote support for Israel. With a local Jewish population that has almost doubled in twenty years, we are now reimagining our 32-acre campus on McIntosh Road to better serve the needs of our growing community.

TIKKUN OLAM, OR REPAIRING THE WORLD, IS A MAJOR TENET OF JUDIASM. That value was deeply evident during this Covid 19 pandemic. Beginning in March, our Jewish community came together to help those struggling from the crisis by donating more than $330,000, including a $100,000 from a Federation board restricted fund, to the STRONGER TOGETHER: Coronavirus Relief Fund at The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee. Using those monies, Federation granted $285,189 to 15 different Jewish organizations and synagogues. Monies were given at three different intervals, in the spring, summer and fall. Needs ranged from food security to personal protection equipment (PPE) to much-needed technology upgrades at synagogues to provide virtual services and programs for many in our community who are isolated and alone due to the pandemic.
