The Jewish Federation of Sarasota - Manatee

About Us

The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee is the only local Jewish organization that focuses on the whole – all of us thriving together. We are the center of Jewish life – serving as community convener; fostering an open exchange of ideas; developing programs and strengthening services that connect our constituents to their Jewish identity; and evaluating the effectiveness and impact of all programs and services. Our goal is to create a thriving community that embraces diverse individuals and offers meaningful Jewish experiences. We support programs that care for the vulnerable in Sarasota-Manatee, in Israel and around the world. We build community through strong relationships with partners in education, cultural arts, social services and area non-profits. And we build relationships by engaging both the Jewish and secular communities, ones that allow us to broaden the menu of touch points through which individuals can connect – with the Federation and with one another. With your help, we will continue to work together to achieve our vision of a vibrant local Jewish community.
