UJA-Federation of New York

UJA-Federation of New York was established in 1917 as the primary philanthropic vehicle for Jewish communal needs in the New York region. Its endowment supports human services, education, and community building across global geographies. The foundation pursues venture capital strategies alongside traditional philanthropic deployment. It holds a limited partner position in Avid Ventures and owns Jewish Institutional Investment Fund, LLC. Geographic reach covers the United States and international allocations, with documented commitments to Israel emergency support. Asset holdings include the headquarters building at 130 East 59th Street and the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds system. Eric S. Goldstein serves as CEO and announced his departure in 2025. The organization employs KPMG as auditor and maintains membership in Jewish Federations of North America and Jewish Funders Network. It also sponsors the Annual Wall Street Dinner focused on philanthropy and antisemitism response. Governance centers on a board that includes Marc Rowan as Chair and ties to external vehicles such as the Jewish Communal Fund, which provides an annual $2 million grant.
