Our care, compassion and responsibility for one another have no boundaries. Today, more than ever, the Jewish world has become one community. The growth, movement and resurgent renaissance of our people have created unparalleled opportunity and challenges.

Meeting these means safe passage for Jews in danger; that our Jewish elderly, wherever they call home, will live in dignity; that Jewish education will be an equal opportunity afforded all our youth; that Jewish children at risk will always have a safe haven for reclaiming shattered lives.

OUR MISSION

Aligning donor interests with the urgent needs of our global family to create a personal platform for tzedakah.

UJC Overseas Supplemental Giving, a department of the United Jewish Communities, works closely with individuals, philanthropic foundations and communities to align their interests with compelling overseas needs in Israel, the FSU, eastern Europe, and wherever a Jew is in need.

We believe that there is a resource for every need.

Creating an individualized pathway into the heart of our global Jewish family, UJC donors have the opportunity for direct impact through personalized "above and beyond" commitments.

"The scope of what you have to give doesn't negate the fact that anything you give 'above and beyond' can have an enormous impact. I think the answer isn't to get people to do any one thing; it's to get more people willing to do something."

-- Bernard Siegel, President, The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation
