Strengthen Jewish Atlanta by caring for people in need, supporting Jewish education and engagement, standing with Israel, and protecting the community.
Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta Inc channels very large donations through a federation model, with its biggest recent grant going to the Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego for $60,031,240 in 2025. That scale sits alongside a strong local funding base in Atlanta and a steady flow of support to Jewish communal institutions, education providers, and service organizations. The foundation’s recent grants also show repeated backing for Jewish Family and Career Services in Atlanta, Camp Barney Medintz in Dunwoody, and The Felicia Penzell Weber Jewish Community High School in Atlanta, all of which point to a portfolio centered on Jewish life, learning, and care. Beyond local institutions, it also funds national and global Jewish partners, including the Jewish Agency for Israel and Jewish Federations of North America. The pattern is consistent with a federation that combines large passthrough donations with community-rooted giving in Georgia and broader support for Jewish causes. Its grant history includes both direct support for Atlanta-area agencies and substantial contributions to organizations working across the Jewish communal system.
A major share of the foundation’s support goes to social services for Jewish residents in Atlanta. Jewish Family and Career Services received $3,988,955 in 2025, following grants of $3,588,102 in 2024 and $3,471,262 in 2023, showing repeated support for direct service capacity. Jewish home and elder services also appear in the record: Jewish Home Life Communities received $1,091,327 in 2025 and $1,041,920 in 2024. Education is another clear theme. The Felicia Penzell Weber Jewish Community High School received $1,561,931 in 2025 and $1,188,854 in 2024, while Atlanta Jewish Academy received $1,105,115 in 2024. The foundation also funds Jewish youth experiences, including $3,731,691 to Camp Barney Medintz in 2025. Security and emergency-related support appears as well through large grants to Boulder Crest Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $18,000, and a p75 of $55,995. The grant list also shows a small number of very large transfers and repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, indicating ongoing relationships rather than one-time support only. The foundation is a mixed Jewish Federation and does not fund individuals. Its grantmaking is structured around donations, including large passthrough-style awards, alongside recurring institutional support.
