A Message from Our Chair of the Board, John Isenberg
A Look Back At 2015: A Year of Great Impact
I’m delighted to report, for the first time since 2007, the Jewish Federation
of Greater Kansas City raised over $5 million from the community for our
Annual Giving Campaign. Those funds were allocated to more than 75
programs to help sustain and enhance Jewish life both locally and around
the Jewish world.
Thanks to your generosity, we were able to meet ongoing local needs
while also funding several new pilot programs including one to provide
intellectual/developmental disability services (social inclusion, case
management and transportation), and a millennial concierge service for our
community, in collaboration with Jewish Family Services and KU Hillel.
The Jewish Federation welcomed six new board members last fall, three of
whom since became new chairs of our Financial Resource Development,
Israel & Overseas and Leadership Committees. We also adopted the
recommendations of a benefactor relations & stewardship subcommittee,
which identified new ways to recognize and demonstrate our sincere appreciation to all our benefactors, including the
publishing of this impact report.
In 2015 we piloted Yesod (meaning Foundation), a leadership development program which has since been rolled out
nationally by the Jewish Federations of North America. We inaugurated FED—a kosher, multi-course pop-up dinner that
attracted nearly 200 attendees. We launched Good Shabbos KC, a chance for young adults to gather before Shabbat in the
vibrant Crossroads district, and held a special communitywide event educating women about the BRCA gene mutation. If
that weren’t enough, we also took our third Shorashim men’s mission to Israel. These missions allow participants to see Israel
in a special and unique way, educate attendees on the importance work of two of our overseas partners, JAFI and JDC, while
seeing first-hand, the impact of our dollars allowed by our Israel and Overseas committee. An unexpected special moment
occured in the wee hours of the morning in Jerusalem as trip participants watched the Royals clinch the World Series.
I’m also proud to share that last year we launched a new corporate sponsorship program, which now is a source of pride for
our Federation, as it helps us cover the costs of Federation programming, relieving pressure to fully fund programs like FED
out of our operating budget. In addition, our new database software—also implemented mid-year—is helping Federation to
better communicate with and serve individuals, families and the wider community.
As you can see, 2015 was a busy year for Jewish Federation—a year in which we continued to fulfill our mission and focus our
efforts on creating or funding programs that add value to our community and beyond. Going forward, with our dedicated
lay and professional leadership—including Dr. Helene Lotman joining our community as our new president & CEO and
your continued investment and support, I am confident that we’ll look back on 2016 and be able to report continued growth
and greater impact.
With sincere gratitude,
John IsenbergJewish Federation Board Chair

A Vision for the Future: A Note from the President & CEO
There’s a midrash—or commentary—on the book of Deuteronomy that
says, “A community is too heavy for any man to carry alone.” This has been
true throughout Jewish history—we pull together and build community in
order to preserve our Jewish identity and to sustain and enhance Jewish life
at home and around the world.
As we look to the year ahead, let’s remember what brings us together: our
commitment to a strong, vibrant and cohesive Jewish community, no matter
where you are in your Jewish journey. One of the things I love most about
the Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City is the principle that convening
our community makes us better—we are better together. Whether it’s
bringing families together to create Jewish identity through PJ Library books
and programs, engaging millennials through our young adult offerings and
then further engaging them in our tradition of tzedakah, or facilitating
collaboration between our various Jewish agencies, Jewish Federation is
about bringing people and ideas together.
What we’ve learned from 2015 is that nothing is impossible. We exceeded
our community campaign goal, hosted more programs than during any other year at Federation, and ensured not only that
we continue to fund vital programs and services locally and abroad, but also that we have the flexibility to invest wisely in
new ideas or in emergent needs. I firmly believe 2017 will hold even greater things than the past and current years—from
finding creative ways to meet the needs of our community and beyond to further increasing cooperation and collaboration,
getting our partner agencies and synagogues together to share resources, feedback and information toward meeting
communal goals.
During my short time at Federation in Kansas City I have seen the impact we have everywhere, everyday. Whether it was
speaking with Holocaust survivors outside Tel Aviv at a community center where they gather to socialize and participate in a
variety of therapeutic activities, or providing a French family making aliyah their passports and tickets to Israel, what we are
doing matters, and we can only accomplish this important work with the full community’s support and partnership.
Before 2015 becomes a mere memory and we embark into the 2016-2017 program year, I want to share this organization’s
deep gratitude for all we were able to accomplish together last year. Through our local and overseas partners, and thanks to
your investment of time, talent and resources, Federation was able to impact more Jewish lives than any other organization,
and for this we are forever grateful.
Sincerely,
Dr. Helene Lotman,Jewish Federation President & CEO

Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City Staff
Together, we are the heart of the Jewish community. Our tradition says, “We are
all responsible for one another,” and with this in mind, there is no better choice for
philanthropy than Jewish Federation, as no other investment touches more Jewish lives.
To invest in the Annual Community Campaign go to www.jfedkc.org.
We invite you to get involved! Whatever your level of commitment,
learn how you can help sustain and enhance Jewish life at home and around the world
by going to www.jfedkc.org.
Tribute cards offer a thoughtful way to honor a simcha—a bar/bat mitzvah, a birthday,
and anniversary, or a graduation—or to send condolences to those who have lost a love
one. Learn more by going to www.jfedkc.org.
What do you care most deeply about? How do you want to ensure that your Jewish values
are perpetuated beyond your lifetime? How do you want your story told for years to come?
