The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore

The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore is the central Jewish federation serving the Greater Baltimore community, bringing people together to think big, act boldly, repair the world, and create a better future. As a member of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), The Associated raises tens of millions of dollars each year to fund a network of over 26 partner agencies addressing the full spectrum of Jewish communal needs—from social services and mental health to education, housing, and Israel advocacy.

The Associated works to ensure every Jew in Baltimore can live proudly and safely, combating rising antisemitism while celebrating diversity, inclusion, and belonging. Its programs span Jewish day schools, campus Hillels, young adult Shabbat dinners, summer camps rooted in Jewish values, senior services, affordable housing support, financial wellness, and counseling—making it the backbone of Jewish Baltimore life.

With deep ties to Israel, The Associated maintains a partner city relationship, supports Israel education and advocacy, and facilitates global humanitarian efforts through partners like the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI). Whether helping seniors age with dignity, uplifting families facing financial hardship, or engaging the next generation of Jewish leaders, The Associated is the connective tissue of Jewish Baltimore.
