The FTPI was formed over 30 years ago to provide educational, programming and networking opportunities for Federation Chief Financial Officers and Controllers, Chief Information Officers and other Top Level Information Technology professionals, Chief Operating Officers and Senior Human Resources Directors. The Jewish Federations of North America represents 151 Jewish Federations and over 300 Network communities, which raise and distribute more than $3 billion annually for social welfare, social services and educational needs. The Federation movement, which touches more Jewish lives than any organization on the planet, protects and enhances the well-being of Jews and their neighbors worldwide through the values of
tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedakah (charity and social justice) and Torah (Jewish learning). Collectively, the Federation System represents more than $17.5 billion in endowment fund assets.
