About The Foundation

For more than four decades, hundreds of individuals and families – and their advisors – have entrusted The Foundation of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation with the responsibility to build and manage a permanent endowment to advance our Jewish community in Miami and to strengthen support for the vital programs and services we value for the people of Israel and Jews worldwide.

What We Do

The Foundation promotes lasting and creative philanthropy by developing meaningful partnerships with donors and their advisors to achieve enduring charitable goals for Miami’s Jewish community. Our team will work with you to create a plan that reflects your Jewish values, matching specific philanthropic objectives with the ongoing work of Federation, the needs of the community today and the anticipated opportunities of tomorrow.

Why We Do It

We support Federation’s Mission of caring for those in need, strengthening Jewish life and advancing the unity, values and shared purpose of the Jewish people. Through the acquisition, professional management and distribution of capital resources, The Foundation ensures that the programs, services and institutions that serve our people in Miami, in Israel and abroad will be enhanced and sustained for the ages.

Federation’s vision and understanding of the big Jewish picture, when combined with personal philanthropic objectives, can create an extraordinary synergy that will have a real and lasting impact on people’s lives.

The Foundation of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation – the place to leave your lasting Jewish legacy.
