Dear Community Member,
The 2017 Annual Campaign closes in two days and we are still raising the critical dollars needed to meet our goal and allocation commitments.
You still have time to take action that will make a meaningful difference, while reducing your income tax liability for 2017 by mailing a check to Federation by December 31
st
or donating online at
ShalomDelaware.org/donate
.
On behalf of the thousands of people who depend on us – Thank You.
We went to press with the January 2018 edition of the
Jewish VOICE
and you should expect to receive your printed edition next week. In the interim, please

to view the digital edition.
We are also excited to announce the launch of our new website next week that serves as the portal to Jewish life in Delaware. A number of improvements and enhancements have been made including a fresh new design, a more user-friendly community calendar and we will also be accepting online checking for donations. A website-specific email will be going out announcing the official launch next week - we look forward to your feedback.
We are pleased to inform you that Federation recently received its third consecutive 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, the nation's largest independent charity evaluator. This recognition demonstrates our trustworthiness and commitment to accountability. Federation is one of only 10 nonprofits in Delaware to earn their coveted 4-star rating.
As we close 2017, we look forward to continue strengthening community in 2018. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to improving the world.
We Are Stronger TOGETHER.
Shabbat Shalom
,
Seth J. Katzen
