Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City

Since 1933, Women's Division has been a vital part of the Kansas City Jewish Federation working to revitalize, sustain and protect our local and global community of Jews through education and fundraising.

The fund-raising arm of the Jewish Federation raises nearly $5 million to build, strengthen and preserve Jewish identity in Kansas City and nearly 60 countries around the world; Women' s Division is proud to raise nearly 25 percent of that amount--$ 1.25 million.

Whether your interests lie in education, fund-raising or community involvement, the women's Division can enhance your awareness and understanding of issues that impact our lives and offers you the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests.

Women's Division is renowned for innovative events and programs. The Women's Division welcomes you and invites you to participate in our activities. If you'd like more information or wish to be involved, please e-mail Women's Division Director Beverly Jacobson at beverlyja@jewishkc.org.
