Needs Assessment Survey

Thanks to responses from hundreds of participants, the 2017 Needs Assessment Survey will guide the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines for years to come. In the following report, you can learn more about the results of the survey and the diversity of people that make up our thriving community. We look forward to using this input as we work to advance our mission through each of our pillars.
