Since 1902, the Milwaukee Jewish Federation has demonstrated the power of collective giving by raising and investing financial resources to make the world a better place.

In addition to fundraising, we operate several programs like Jewish Museum Milwaukee, with visitors including 3,000 students annually; the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center, which educates about 40,000 students and adults each year; and the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle, serving the Jewish communities across the state. We are committed to the principles of Klal Yisrael (the collective unity of the Jewish people), Tzedakah (the obligation to care for one another) and Tikkun Olam (improving the society in which we live).
