Oregon Jewish Federations Lead the Way in Fossil Fuel Divestment

Oregon's Jewish Federations Lead Climate Action by Divesting from Fossil Fuels

In a groundbreaking move, Oregon's Jewish communal federations have taken a significant step towards addressing the climate crisis by divesting their endowment funds from the fossil fuel industry. This decision positions the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland and the Jewish Federation of Lane County as the pioneers among North America's 146 Jewish federations in committing to an environmentally sustainable future. Collectively, these federations represent around 60,000 Jews and hold over $3 million in investment assets.
