We Don't Just Build Programs.

We Build Jewish Community.

The Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine is the place where Jewish life comes together.

Your gift to the Annual Campaign doesn't fund a single program—it strengthens an entire community. From a baby's first Shabbat songs at Goldman Family Preschool to lifelong friendships at Wise Ventures, from welcoming new families to supporting neighbors in crisis, from fighting antisemitism to building bridges across communities, every part of Jewish life is connected.

When you invest in the JCA, you ensure that no one has to experience Jewish life alone.

Together, we're creating a community that is joyful, resilient, welcoming,

and here for every stage of life. 

Why Give?

You can celebrate Jewish holidays at home.

But you need a community to celebrate them together.

You can teach your children about Judaism.

But you need a community where they can experience it.

You can care deeply about the Jewish future.

But it takes all of us to build one.

Every day, the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine brings people together to learn, celebrate, care for one another, and strengthen Jewish life across Southern Maine. Your Annual Campaign gift makes all of that possible.

When you give to the Annual Campaign, you're investing in an entire ecosystem of Jewish life.

Your gift helps:

Children discover pride in their Jewish identity through preschool, camp, and youth programs.

Families celebrate holidays, create traditions, and build lasting friendships.

Older adults find purpose, connection, and community.

Neighbors in need receive compassionate support through Jewish Family Services.

Our community responds to rising antisemitism while strengthening security and advocacy.

Jewish organizations in Maine and around the world receive critical funding through JCA allocations.

One gift. Countless lives touched.

More Than a Donation

Your Annual Campaign gift is more than a charitable contribution.

It's a vote of confidence in the future of Jewish life.

It's an investment in belonging.

It's saying:

"I want my community to be here - not just today, but for generations to come."
