As providers of vital services to Jews in North America, Israel and around the world, UJC and the Federation system are partnering to strengthen the Jewish community amid the ongoing global economic crisis.

Just as those with the ability to give are impacted, Jewish needs at home and around the world are only intensifying. That means the programs we provide to address those needs through the Annual Campaign are more critical than ever, and even life-saving.

With the economic upheaval affecting federation activities across the board -- including fundraising, allocations, service delivery and marketing and communications -- UJC is developing plans for the local and continental level that involve all federation functions. Please click here to learn more about UJC's efforts in this regard.

In addition to the resources on this page, UJC has created an economic crisis resource area on the UJC interoffice site that offers federations a range of marketing and communications tools and templates, as well as federation best practices to best respond to the downturn. Please note: UJC's interoffice site is accessible only to federation professionals and affiliated lay leaders.
