The Fort Wayne Jewish Federation works to perpetuate and sustain Jewish life through programs and services to the Jewish community and takes whatever steps necessary to ensure a thriving Jewish community in the future.

Since 1921, the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation has served as the central address of the Jewish community for Northeastern Indiana acting as the central social planning, budgeting, cultural, and human services agency.

   We identify common concerns and bring various segments of our community together to seek solutions.

   We recruit and orient potential leaders and plan for the future needs of a changing Jewish community. We raise and allocate funds for the operation of our local Jewish Federation, agencies that offer social and community services nationally, and needs of Jews in over 60 countries around the world.

   We work diligently to promote a climate of public opinion favorable to Jewish needs, issues, and interests.

   We act as a voice for our local Jewish community by our public statements and private diplomacy on issues of concern.

   We provide resource, whether financial, technical, or human, to help other Jewish organizations and/or individuals function most effectively.

   We do all we can to build a cohesive community, bringing people together to identify what we need to do to be a better community.
