Jewish Federation & Foundation of Northeast Florida

Major Gifts Briefing

The Jewish Federation & Foundation of Northeast Florida hosted its Major Donors for a special briefing from the Chair of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), Julie Platt. She shared with the group an update on aid to Ukraine through our partners, the Joint Distribution Committee and the Jewish Agency for Israel. Julie also shared the importance of security for the Jewish community as our local community launched a Community Security Initiative with the hire of a full-time security director. In addition, she spoke on the advocacy work being done in Israel and in Washington D.C.
