About this Community

The Jewish Community Federation of Richmond has served as the central address of the organized Jewish community in Richmond since 1935. A voluntary association of social service agencies, organizations, and synagogues, the Federation works to ensure the well-being, continuity, and strength of Richmond's vibrant Jewish community. The Federation fosters collaboration among synagogues, agencies, schools, and organizations through its fundraising, planning, community relations, and leadership development programs. The community's annual campaign and the subsequent allocations process fall under the auspices of the Federation to ensure the provision of vital social, educational, cultural, and recreational services for the entire community.

The Federation:

• Facilitates communal priority-setting and collaborative efforts addressing local needs.
• Publishes The Reflector, a newspaper communicating local, regional, national, and international news and features of interest to the Jewish community.
• Maintains its website.
• Maintains the central community calendar of events and activities.

Guided by the findings of its strategic planning, the Federation is working with its communal partners to ensure that the physical facility needs of the growing Richmond Jewish community are met in a timely and fiscally-responsible manner. The goal is to provide modern, state-of-the-art facilities that will complement our vision of a warm, vibrant, and inclusive Jewish community.
