Since its founding in 1934, F·E·G·S has assisted more than three million people. Established by the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies (now UJA-Federation of New York), F·E·G·S's mission has remained constant for almost three-quarters of a century: To help the individuals we serve to achieve their highest level of success – at work, at home, at school, and in the community.
