History
The United Jewish Federation was established in the early 1900s to provide financial resources and central planning to the Jewish community of Pittsburgh. The United Jewish Federation divides its responsibilities into three different areas - developing financial resources, identifying and engaging donors and potential donors, and building the community. Direct fundraising campaigns support agencies both in Pittsburgh and around the world.
