Federation of Jewish Women's Organizations.

The Federation of Jewish Women's Organizations was founded as the Federation of Sisterhoods in 1896, bringing together 14 New York City Sisterhoods of Personal Service which had been organizing relief activities among the city's Jewish poor. The organization changed its name in 1920, when social and welfare groups were admitted to the Federation.

In 1982, the Federation included groups of women who "serve actively in the fields of education, health, religion, social welfare and general philanthropy."
