Jewish Tampa

We work to strengthen family life, promote the health, education and welfare of our membership and our community, and to ensure for ourselves and future generations, Jewish continuity and identification with Jewish values, culture and heritage.

We work to enrich the quality of Jewish life in Tampa by bringing comfort and hope to the vulnerable and by investing in programs that build Jewish knowledge, identity and ensuring the next generation of Jews.

Our Annual Campaign raises millions of dollars each year to fund agencies locally — including Jewish day schools, synagogue religious schools and the Tampa Jewish Community Center, as well as numerous social-service programs to care for those in need in Tampa. One of the main goals of the Federation is to raise, collect and allocate funds from the community for the support of those services and to preserve a vibrant Jewish life in the United States, Israel and throughout the world. In Israel, Federation is affecting change and enhancing lives by helping to settle immigrants, assisting in times of crisis, and engaging in special partnerships with our sister city of Ashdod.

The Tampa Jewish Community Centers & Federation is focused on addressing the most pressing issues facing our community, Israel and in more than 60 countries worldwide. Working together with our partner agencies, we provide financial assistance, counseling, feed those that are hungry, and help the unemployed. We help fund and sustain our community’s JCCs, day school and summer camps, providing scholarships toward those Jewish experiences. In addition, we help send young people on Taglit-Birthright Israel trips. Together we make a world of difference!
