The Federation of Jewish Women's Organizations of Milwaukee was established in 1925 by twenty-two organizations as the Conference of Jewish Women's Organizations to act as a clearinghouse for the exchange of ideas, to establish a calendar of events so that the groups could avoid conflicting dates and duplication of effort, and to bring about better organizational understanding. It consists of a delegate body of presidents and representatives of Jewish women's organizations engaged in philanthropic, cultural, educational, and communal activities. By 1953 there were 50 constituent chapters. The federation has been involved in many community-oriented projects, including the “Serve-a Chaplain” Fund, conference on human relations, and interfaith teas.
