About Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County
Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County Inc gives at a scale that reaches far beyond a single local network, with its largest recent grant going to The Jewish Fed of North America Inc in New York for general support. Its grant record also shows sustained support for Palm Beach County institutions such as Palm Beach Jewish Community Campus Corp and Mandel Jewish Community Center, alongside national Jewish organizations. The pattern points to a federation-style funder that supports both the local infrastructure serving Palm Beach County and broader Jewish communal work. The foundation’s grant list includes general operating support for community centers, family service agencies, schools, and Jewish nonprofit partners. In Palm Beach County, grantees include Ferd & Gladys Alpert Jewish Fmly Svc Inc, Arthur I Meyer Jewish Academy Inc, Kramer Senior Services Agency Inc, and Morselife Foundation Inc. Beyond the county, the federation directs substantial support to New York-based Jewish organizations and national partners, including Jewish Federations of North America and American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee Inc. Its stated focus areas include antisemitism prevention and education, community and institution security, Jewish education, Israel experience programs, scholarships and financial assistance, arts and culture, and interfaith partnership.
