Strategic objectives of the JUF/JF website
1. Advance JUF brand recognition and enhance the image of JUF in the community.
2. Promote the JUF Campaign and encourage new and/or increased giving.
3. Provide a means of increased interactions between key audiences and JUF, including volunteerism for the Federation and all of its affiliate and beneficiary agencies.
4. Provide easy access to information for Chicago-area Jewish families and individuals who might be in need of service, or are searching for opportunities to participate, including Jewish learning.
5. Provide a centralized place for up-to-date local, national and international Jewish news, action alerts, and Jewish information.
