What We Do

For more than 80 years, the Jewish Federation of Greater Binghamton has been the cornerstone of Jewish life in the Southern Tier of New York.  We serve the local Jewish community as a financial, cultural, educational and unifying resource. Through the compassion and generosity of our donors, we raise and allocate the funds that provide critical support to our local institutions, our neighbors in need and for Jewish people worldwide.

Our Mission

The Jewish Federation of Greater Binghamton strives to create a caring, vibrant, enduring community locally, in Israel and worldwide.  The Federation uses its assets and contributions to strengthen local Jewish institutions and organizations, to support Jewish people in need, and to educate the people in the Southern Tier about Jewish values and identity.

Support the Campaign for 2024

Your gift helps us to provide critical social services, build the identity of our Jewish youth, provide local Jewish programming, improve security and keep us all connected.

We are grateful for your support.

GIVE TO THE SECURITY CAMPAIGN


In the last year, Federation provided mini-grants for High Holiday security, purchased and distributed Stop the Bleed kits to all of our local Jewish organizations, held two community-wide security trainings and worked with law enforcement post October 7 to ensure our community's safety. 

These are just some of the ways we are improving our security.

Help us to continue this important work for years to come.  GIVE TODAY and your gift will be matched.
