The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia is proud to have made the City & State Pennsylvania Nonprofit Power 100 list. President and CEO of the Jewish Federation Michael Balaban was recognized for leading the organization and its inspiring work to ensure a vibrant Jewish community.

According to City & State Pennsylvania, the organizations featured in the 2022 list have "triumphed in their efforts to provide everything from cash assistance to legal representation, food deliveries to waterways protection despite the constraint on fundraisers, reduced government funding and declining philanthropic support."

Balaban officially began this position on June 1, 2021. Bringing 30 years of experience, Balaban previously served in a number of leadership roles at various Jewish Federations and nonprofits.

"After a career threaded with Jewish nonprofit leadership and stints in the Delaware Valley, Michael Balaban returned to Philadelphia last year to lead the area’s Jewish Federation," the article states. "Balaban, a fundraising expert, is tasked with facilitating a return to vibrant Jewish life as community institutions – a rich network of schools, synagogues, and social and educational programs ­– cope with the lingering effects of the pandemic."
