Biographical History

The Jewish Federation is the modern American extension of the Kuppha, or collection box, the traditional community safety net. Today there are over 200 Jewish federations in America. The Fort Wayne Jewish Federation was founded in 1921 as the Fort Wayne Federation of Jewish Charities, and became the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation in 1936. The Federation was founded to coodinate fundraising and relief efforts. It has expanded its mission to fight prejudice, educate about Jewish interests, and strengthen community ties.
