Jewish Nevada

What Jewish Nevada does

Jewish Nevada (also known as the Jewish Federation of Las Vegas) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization (EIN: 88-0098500) founded in 1965 that serves as the central representative body for the Jewish community across Nevada. The organization operates from a headquarters in Las Vegas (8861 W. Sahara Ave #120) and a regional office in Reno, serving an estimated Jewish population of 70,000+. Its core functions include fundraising through an Annual Campaign and donor giving circles (Lion of Judah $10,000+, Pomegranate $1,800-$4,999, Women's United $365+), operating the JCC of Southern Nevada with membership-based access (starting at $60/year), distributing $1.5 million+ annually to 70+ beneficiary organizations, and hosting 400+ programs annually spanning youth (Camp J, BBYO, PJ Library), adults, seniors, and Israel engagement (Birthright Nevada, Ramat HaNegev partnership).

The organization's product portfolio is programmatic rather than technology-driven: community events, cultural and educational programming, social services, crisis response, and philanthropic distribution. Digital infrastructure is limited to a NeonCRM-based donor portal for donations and membership management, the jewishnevada.org website, and standard social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, LinkedIn) reaching 11,000+ email subscribers and 9,000+ social followers. There is no proprietary technology platform; operational differentiation comes from community relationships, 60 years of institutional trust, and structural affiliation with the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) network.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: (1) individual donations via the Annual Campaign and crisis appeals, (2) JCC membership dues, (3) corporate sponsorships across five tiers (Double Chai $3,600+ through Diamond $50,000+), and (4) event-based fees. The customer base spans Jewish families, women, men, young adults, college students, seniors, corporate partners, and affiliated nonprofits. Notable recent activity includes raising $1 million+ from 1,000+ donors for the Israel Emergency Fund post-October 2023, granting $900,000+ to Israel recovery organizations in 2023-2024, and launching a Medical Division for Jewish healthcare professionals.
