During an intense

and difficult year

that tested our

Jewish community’s

commitment,

creativity and

resilience, Jewish

Chicago rose to meet

every challenge.

If this year was unprecedented, so was Jewish Chicago’s generosity.

Fueled by the community’s generous support of the JUF Annual Campaign, the Jewish United Fund/Jewish

Federation of Chicago rose to meet the intense challenges of a year unlike any other.

Together, we delivered wide-ranging COVID relief throughout the community, rushed support to the people of

Israel in a time of crisis, battled a frightening surge in antisemitism—and still forged innovative ways to engage the

next generations in Jewish life, community, and identity.

The strength of the JUF Annual Campaign makes everything we do possible. We are grateful to each and every

individual donor and corporate partner. Their commitment is the cornerstone of JUF/Federation’s multi-faceted

resource development efforts. The Annual Campaign is complemented by grants from foundations, the government,

and United Way, plus distributions from Donor Advised Funds and Supporting Foundations. Generous bequests

and endowment gifts further strengthen the foundation on which future generations will build.

All told, our community’s incredible collective generosity fueled allocations and expenses of $277,392,148 during

the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Highlights include: $32,999,258 through the Jewish Federation of Chicago to fund local human services and

$24,586204 to fund Jewish education, continuity, identity-building, outreach and advocacy programs; $30,

469,747 through the Jewish United Fund devoted to help millions of Jews in Israel and 70 countries worldwide;

$13,536,244 of COVID relief grants, and $119,503,722 allocated to charitable ventures worldwide in partnership

with our 1,000+ Donor Advised Funds and Supporting Foundations.

With these funds, JUF provided humanitarian aid to 500,000 Chicagoans of all faiths and millions of Jews across

the globe at an enormously challenging time.

We fought for Israel. And against antisemitism.

We created exciting Jewish experiences for children, teens and young families, strengthening their Jewish identity.

We provided young adults with multiple points of entry and opportunities for personal growth when they needed

it most.

Together, we ensured that our community was cared for and emerged from the pandemic healthy and strong.

Jewish life in Chicago is thriving—and we can look ahead to the future with excitement and optimism.

DURING AN INTENSE AND DIFFICULT YEAR that

tested our Jewish community’s commitment, creativity

and resilience, Jewish Chicago rose to meet every

challenge.

When COVID-19 transformed life as we knew it,

creating human needs greater in scope than we had

seen in our lifetime, JUF swiftly became a lifeline for tens

of thousands of people.

When children were hungry, JUF fed them.

When families needed emergency cash for rent, JUF

delivered extra funds.

When health care workers and caregivers required

PPE to care for the sick and elderly, JUF supplied it.

When months of isolation and worry took a toll on

people’s emotional health, JUF put more resources into

mental health services.

When Jewish schools, camps and human service

agencies needed safety upgrades to re-open, JUF

funded those upgrades.

And when many vital Jewish institutions faced

frightening revenue shortfalls, JUF sent them emergency

operating support to keep the lights on.

All told, during the fiscal year and in the surrounding

months, JUF delivered an additional $21.6 million,

above and beyond annual support, for emergency

COVID-relief grants across the community in five

critical areas (called out to the right).

This support—provided above and beyond JUF’s

annual allocations—stabilized our community at a

time of dire need and served as investment in our

community’s future.

All the while, JUF and our family of partner agencies

still met daily human needs and engaged people Jewishly.

THE PANDEMIC CREATED SPECIAL CHALLENGES in

caring for seniors, and CJE SeniorLife sustained their

clients’ physical and mental health, beginning with

scrupulously safeguarding those living in its residential

facilities. CJE also found creative ways to keep seniors

emotionally and socially engaged, from streaming

Shabbat services and virtual field trips to developing

activity kits for homebound clients and checking in

daily with Holocaust survivors.

JCFS Chicago expanded its emergency financial

assistance and mental health services, incorporating

telehealth options, and grew its programming for

people with disabilities, adding virtual experiences to

help participants maintain a sense of community and

connection during the pandemic and beyond.

JCC Chicago kicked off Camp Chi’s Centennial

celebration, capping a year in which they worked

tirelessly to safely offer in-person Jewish summer

camps and early childhood education.

Our community’s Jewish day schools similarly adapted

seamlessly to every scenario as it unfolded, ensuring

students received whatever support they needed to

thrive academically, socially and emotionally—whether

in remote, in-person or hybrid settings.

JUF Young Families offered many programs online and

then in-person, including virtual jBaby support groups

for new parents and PJ Library events and activity kits

to celebrate holidays and Jewish values. JUF Teens took

its service learning and leadership programming online

and even brought teens together for pop-up virtual

giving circles to provide COVID relief.

To engage more members of the next generation in

meaningful Jewish experiences, JUF doubled our Base

program from two Chicago locations to four. Serving as

pluralistic hubs for Jewish life, each Base is anchored

by rabbis-in-residence and their families, who open

their doors to provide a welcoming space for young

people to experience Judaism together. Chicago is now

home to Silverstein Base in Lincoln Park and the new

Base in Logan Square, which serve college students,

plus Base West Loop and the new Doppelt Base in

Andersonville, which serve young adults.

Even as we made these exciting investments in the

Jewish future, JUF remained poised to mobilize in

moments of crisis—which we were compelled to do

again in May, when Hamas launched intensive rocket

attacks against Israel.

As Israel endured thousands of terrorist missiles, JUF

swiftly advanced $1 million to address humanitarian

needs on the ground, including intensive assistance

for traumatized children and families, people with

disabilities, Holocaust survivors and new immigrants.

We also sent an additional $625,000 in emergency

grants for bombing victims and other urgent needs.

In the wake of the conflict with Hamas, a wave of

anti-Jewish hate swept the globe, demonstrating that

in today’s world, the boundaries between anti-Zionism

and antisemitism have been erased. In the months

since, as incidents of anti-Jewish hate continued to

escalate, JUF doubled down on our efforts to galvanize

our community—and to expose and fight antisemitism

in all its forms.

JUF utilized our social media presence to fight

antisemitism and promote Jewish pride—and helped to

identify and shut down hate speech and discrimination

against Jews in Facebook groups. JUF leaders took to

the airwaves, speaking out against antisemitism on

major media outlets across the metropolitan area

and successfully calling out incidents of biased local

coverage.

We engaged with elected officials in Congress and

in the Illinois General Assembly, urging them to stand

up for Israel and to stand against anti-Jewish hate,

and hosted live broadcasts from Israel to ensure that

interfaith civic and religious leaders were kept informed

of the nuanced realities on the ground. We coordinated

opposition to proposed anti-Israel statements in

several religious and academic arenas and counseled

Jewish employees at large, iconic businesses to help

them deal with difficult conversations in the workplace.

We equipped college, high school and middle school

students with resources to advocate for Israel—and for

themselves as American Jews—and hosted educational

sessions to help synagogues, civic organizations, and

community members to do the same.

Finally, JUF launched a high visibility, surround

strategy antisemitism public awareness campaign.

Targeted to both Jewish and non-Jewish audiences, the

multi-channel #stopantisemitism campaign delivered

positive, actionable messaging across the city—from

expressway billboards and digital signboards to full-

page ads, TV commercial spots and social media

channels—urging people to come together and

eliminate hate.

We look to the year ahead with a spirit of optimism

and pride in our community’s resilience.

We are—truly—together for good.
