The WNC Jewish Federation, incorporated in 1935, has been one of the most trusted names in local philanthropy, raising funds and distributing needed dollars in the greater Asheville and western North Carolina community, in Israel and around the world. It is a volunteer organization comprised of Board members, campaign volunteers, part-time administrative staff, and Executive Director.
The Jewish Federation has served the needs of our Jewish community for many years through programs such as the Asheville Jewish Community Center, the JCC's Jewish Family Services, The Center for Diversity Education, NC Hillel, UNCA Center for Jewish Studies, and Maccabi Academy. The Jewish Federation raises community dollars to fund the many critical needs of these organizations, as well as support for projects in Israel and for worldwide Jewry through United Jewish Communities.
