Powered by YOU…with Gratitude
Every day, Jewish Federation of Delaware funds and supports agencies and programs that feed, clothe, shelter, counsel, and rescue thousands of people here in Delaware and the Brandywine Valley, in Israel, and around the world. We provide opportunities that educate, inspire, and celebrate a vibrant Jewish life. It’s our responsibility. It’s our privilege. It’s who we are.
Federation is about the commitment of an entire community to repair the world, care for the vulnerable, ensure a Jewish future, and enhance and strengthen Jewish life. It is about building a vital and vibrant community that inspires generations to come. Whether the task is educating our youth, reducing poverty and hunger, caring for the elderly, rescuing and resettling new immigrants, fighting antisemitism, spurring Jewish renaissance worldwide, or simply serving as the convener for community events and stewarding safe and secure facilities, the Federation is the one place that belongs to every Jew—the place where philanthropy, volunteerism, and a shared commitment come together to make a difference, every day.
Our community will come together for Federation Shabbat on Friday, January 30, 2026 at Congregation Beth Emeth. The celebration showcases the uniqueness of the Delaware Jewish community, as our seven state-wide synagogues come TOGETHER for an evening of song, prayer, celebration, and pride. It is an expression of unity as well as an expression of the power of collaboration.
Super Sunday will follow on Sunday, February 1, 2026, serving as our official kick-off to the 2026 Annual Campaign (and our largest single day of fundraising of the year).
Federation counts on the generosity and increased support of our community members to sustain the life-saving work that we do. Please help us meet the needs of as many Jews as possible, throughout the region and across the globe, by making your 2026 Annual Campaign gift today.
The Annual Campaign is at the core of what we do, providing essential, unrestricted dollars for the organizations that provide amazing services to our community and to those in need around the world.
It is the Annual Campaign that addresses the most pressing needs and issues at a moment’s notice.
It is the Annual Campaign that has been the glue that has held the Jewish community together for more than 90 years and will continue to do so.
While we look back at what we’ve accomplished, we must also look toward the future. We look ahead at the alarming challenges that lie in wait and the daunting obstacles we must overcome.
Please—on behalf of the thousands of men, women, and children who are in desperate need of a better life—commit to the Annual Campaign and become part of the solution. There is no better time to get involved because, through Federation, you can make a world of difference and deliver the gift of hope to those in need.
We are here for the Jewish People both locally and abroad, and we will never let them down.
Thank you for your continued support.
We Grow Stronger TOGETHER As One.
L’Shalom,
Seth J. Katzen, President & Chief Executive Officer
