Jewish Federation of St. Louis 2011 Fundraising Hits $25 Million

In a very challenging year, Jewish Federation of St. Louis fundraising hit $25 million in current gifts and future commitments. It represents a 47 percent increase over 2010. Funds raised support agencies, congregations and targeted services — in St. Louis and worldwide — to build and maintain a thriving Jewish community.

The $25 milllion includes three major income streams: the 2011 Annual Community Campaign, Jewish Community Foundation and its Create a Jewish Legacy effort; and designated government grants, sponsorships and individual donations for projects that align with Jewish Federation’s strategic plan.
