Shalom,

Embracing a spirit of innovation and growth, we are excited to share some exciting developments that will shape the future of our community. As of March 1, the Jewish Community Federation and Richmond Jewish Foundation will find our new home at 5540 Falmouth Street. Rest assured, this move won't affect our day-to-day operations. It's a strategic step forward, enabling the Dora L. Lewis Child Development Center, JCC day camps, and after-school programs to expand their capacity at the Carole and Marcus Weinstein Jewish Community Center's Monument Avenue campus.

Our community is blessed with organizations who share a deep commitment to sustainability, innovation and impact that extends beyond the walls of our institutions. As we step into this new phase, the strong and resilient connection among us remains unwavering. We are ready to elevate our impact and services in the community, and eagerly anticipate the positive changes that lie ahead. The Jewish Community Federation of Richmond and Richmond Jewish Foundation's longtime partnership with the JCC will remain steadfast, reflecting our shared commitment to building a thriving Jewish community in Greater Richmond.

Your questions and concerns are valued during this time of dynamic growth and expansion for the Weinstein JCC, Jewish Community Federation of Richmond, and Richmond Jewish Foundation.

With gratitude for your shared commitment to strengthening our community, 

Amy Nisenson – President, Jewish Community Federation of Richmond 

Daniel Staffenberg – CEO, Jewish Community Federation of Richmond

Greg Bishop – President, Weinstein JCC

Orly Lewis – CEO, Weinstein JCC

Jeffrey Lacker – Chair, Richmond Jewish Foundation

Annual Campaign



Jewish Community Federation of Richmond's Annual Campaign allows us to be there in times of crisis. 

Thanks to our Annual Campaign, we are able to respond immediately because we are here, day in and day out, all year long. 

Our Annual Campaign powers Aliyah, ensures Holocaust survivors can live worry-free, supports at-risk youth and other vulnerable populations, cultivates a more equitable society, and connects North American Jews and Israelis. 

A gift to the Annual Campaign ensures our system and international partners have the infrastructure in place to mobilize in times of crisis.
