Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix View Charity Profile

The Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix was established in 1940. Our mission was then and still is - to bring dignity and value to human life, nurture and enrich Jewish identity, and enhance the quality of Jewish life locally, in Israel, and throughout the world. We are diverse in background and interest and we have been blessed with an ever-increasing Jewish population that distinguishes itself through its richness and variety of Jewish life.

Poised on the threshold of the 21st century, we are presented with a unique opportunity to strengthen our Jewish infrastructure and enhance and preserve the quality of life for all people. As recent as December 2002 we completed a community demographic study that confirmed our belief that the greater Phoenix Jewish community is one of the fastest growing communities in North America.

Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix Volunteer Information

AJWS is an independent not-for-profit organization founded in 1985 to help alleviate poverty, hunger and disease among the people of the world regardless of race, religion or nationality. It breathes life into Judaism's imperative to pursue justice and helps American Jews act upon a deeply felt obligation to improve the chances for survival, economic independence and human dignity for all people.

AJWS supports almost 270 grassroots organizations in the developing world and Russia and Ukraine through grant making, technical assistance, emergency relief and advocacy. We also provide unique international service opportunities for the Jewish community, enabling Jews to play an active role in the process of meaningful social change. Last year we sent over 300 volunteers to the developing world.

The inspiration for AJWS' work is drawn from the demand for social justice expressed in traditional Jewish sources. AJWS is a Jewish response to the needs of communities throughout the globe, regardless of race, religion or nationality.
