Jewish Federation of Broward County

Alona G. Levine serves as Vice President of Major Gifts at the Jewish Federation of Broward County.

She has been at the Jewish Federation of Broward County for 12 years. During her tenure at Federation, Alona has held several positions starting with Young Leadership, Israel Missions, Eastside Community, Business & Professionals Division and Corporate Development. Originally born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and having made Aliyah to Israel as a child and then eventually to Toronto, Canada, Alona understands first-hand the great impact Federation has had on her own family's life, as well as other former-Soviet Jews. Upon graduating from York University with a double degree in Psychology and Law & Society, Alona chose to work in the Jewish non-profit sector as a way of ‘paying it forward' and worked at Hillel of Greater Toronto coordinating Birthright Israel trips and doing outreach for Russian Jewish students. Alona says, "I am forever in debt to the Jewish community and the generous donors who had saved my family and had given me the opportunity to be where I am today".
