The Jewish Federation of Florida's Gulf Coast

What The Jewish Federation of Florida's Gulf Coast does

The Jewish Federation of Florida's Gulf Coast is a 501(c)-equivalent non-profit organization legally registered as Jewish Federation of Pinellas and Pasco Counties (EIN 59-0697685), founded in 1970 and headquartered at 13191 Starkey Road, Suite 8, Largo, Florida. The Federation functions as a regional fundraising and coordinating body for the Jewish community of Pinellas and Pasco Counties, pooling donations through an Annual Campaign and channeling resources to local programs, Israeli partner agencies, and global Jewish causes. Its service offering spans demographic-segmented engagement programs — TRIBE for young adults in their 20s and 30s, JSocial for Millennials and Gen X, PJ Library for families, JCRC for advocacy, Community Security with incident reporting, and Partnership2Gether for Israel engagement — alongside a tiered Women's Societies giving ladder (Lion of Judah at $5,000+, Pomegranate Society at $1,800+, Pearl Society at $365).

The Federation operates on the Fedweb content management platform, which powers its website (jewishgulfcoast.org), donation processing, events calendar, and community directory. Its stack integrates SurveyMonkey for community sign-up forms, GoFevo and TicketSpice for event ticketing, Google Maps and Google Calendar for location and event scheduling, and WhatsApp and Facebook for community communications. The organization co-publishes the Jewish Press of Tampa Bay with Tampa JCCs, reaching an estimated 35,000+ readers and reportedly making it the largest Jewish newspaper in Florida outside the South Florida Gold Coast.

The Federation's revenue model rests on three streams: Annual Campaign donations, planned giving and endowments through the TOP Jewish Foundation (founded 1980), and the tiered Women's Societies annual gifts. Go-to-market is community-driven rather than commercial: outreach is conducted via website content, email newsletter, organic social (Facebook and Instagram), the Jewish Press newspaper, Maxine's Column (published 2020-2026), and event-based engagement at venues such as Tropicana Field, Philippe Park, and local restaurants. The organization runs with 1-10 employees and partners with Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), the Jewish Agency for Israel, local synagogues including Temple B'nai Israel, Chabad Jewish Center of Greater S. Petersburg, and The Florida Holocaust Museum for programming distribution.
