UJA New York raises nearly $208 million in donations

The United Jewish Appeal Federation of New York successfully raised nearly $208 million this year, marking an increase over last year of almost $22 million.

“Over the past year, our community proved its resolve to support those in need — whether displaced persons in Ukraine, children in Sderot, or agencies in New York that required our assistance and expertise. Our community response underscores the vital, unique role UJA-Federation plays as a global safety net, protecting vulnerable populations and providing significant resources to address the most pressing needs, both in crisis and every day,” says Eric S. Goldstein, who celebrated his one-year anniversary as CEO of UJA-Federation in July.

“This fundraising accomplishment is testament to a tremendously caring and committed community, one that I am proud to be part of,” comments UJA-Federation President Alisa R. Doctoroff.

“It is also truly remarkable to see how such generosity is put to good use in the work being done in UJA’s network of health, human-service, education, and community-based agencies that spans New York and around the world,” she continues.

UJA-Federation’s annual campaign is the single, largest philanthropic effort by any local community anywhere in the world.
