Every year tells a unique story, spanning from moments of celebration to the crises that unite us in While every year stretches us in new ways, there are some things that will never change. The values heartache. And while we can’t always anticipate what global challenges might arise, we can be ready. that inspire us. Our love for . An annual campaign, representing a desire to impact both the issues that touch us directly and the ones that touch people whose lives and needs are vastly different We began this year with a focus on transition, with John S. Ruskay stepping down after 15 years from our own. That’s what it means to be responsible for one another. And that’s the kind of and Eric S. Goldstein named UJA-Federation’s new chief executive officer. Throughout the year, we thinking that has consistently set us apart. pursued opportunities to meet the fundamental needs of a widely diverse community and maximize the impact of our funding. Enormous gratitude. And pride.

With an additional $27.6 million in planned Israeli teenagers precipitated a crisis that consumed Israel, leading to 50 days of brutal attacks from giving and endowments and $11.5 million in capital gifts and special initiatives, we raised a total Gaza.

Our response on both fronts — made possible through our ongoing support of agencies on the ground — was effective in meeting In a year that was at turns inspiring and heartbreaking, we thank our donors, agency partners, lay many needs that government and others could not. Whether providing trauma counseling and respite leaders, volunteers, and professionals for making us who we are — a cause that belongs to all in our in Israel or food, medicine, and shelter in Ukraine, we were reminded in real time of what community, reflecting the best of our shared hopes and aspirations. our campaigns make possible and how our strategic planning positions us to respond on day one of a crisis.

To share this story with our stakeholders, the narrative of this annual report extends beyond the end of our fiscal year, June 30, 2014, and covers some key moments that took place between July and September 2014.

Goldstein’s path to the professional helm of UJA-Federation began almost 30 years in 1999, he spoke of creating “caring and inspired communities of meaning and purpose” — ago — though he didn’t know it at the time. In the 1980s, while embarking on a successful and he never strayed from this vision. Even as he led UJA-Federation’s response to 9/11, the law career, Eric sat on the board of directors at one of our beneficiary agencies that cares for second intifada, the Great Recession, Hurricane Sandy, and other disasters local and global, he the elderly. There, he experienced firsthand our role in strengthening agencies and bringing maintained that while we must respond to crises, they could not define us. them together under the auspices of a unique network.

In what he called an era of “unprecedented affluence, influence, and acceptance” for the Over the years, Eric served in various lay roles, including as chair of the Commission on Jewish people, he argued that we must seize the opportunity to give young and old alike Jewish Identity and Renewal and, most recently, as vice chair of UJA-Federation.

These words and this vision became both a road map gratifying decades as a lawyer, he decided to turn his passion into his profession — becoming for his tenure and an enduring legacy. chief executive officer of UJA-Federation, effective July 1, 2014. In the years John led us, UJA-Federation leveraged its network and expertise to create initiatives with long-lasting impact. These include: The day before Eric took on his new position, we learned that three kidnapped Israeli teens had been murdered.

John kept the federated model alive and thriving, helping raise $3 billion across all campaigns.

Thank you, John, for guiding us deftly through challenging years and inspiring us to seize opportunities to enrich our community.

6 7 A Look at One Year

In just one year, we dared to take on some of the most pressing questions of our time: How do we respond to crises in our own backyard and a world away? How do we help people age more purposefully? How do we give voice to the diverse communities within our community? How do we reinforce the safety net for the hungriest New Yorkers? How do we inspire the next generation?

This year, as always, we answered these questions by working hand in hand with nearly 100 agencies — overseas agencies, community centers, Hillels, health and human-service agencies, a Jewish education agency — that are part of our network, while also collaborating with many hundreds of synagogues, day schools, and grassroots grantees, the places where Jewish life is alive in both traditional and surprising ways. We also convened our community’s thought leaders around major issues to share knowledge and best practices. And when it came to the critical issues affecting us as New Yorkers, we worked with our counterparts in other ethnic and religious communities, knowing that we can leverage our collective wisdom and reach to do even more good.

Everything reported here can be appreciated as a world unto itself; when taken together, it reflects what mattered to us as a community and a people in 2013 – 2014.
