What is Lion of Judah?
The Lion of Judah program was established more than 50 years ago to honor and recognize women who are deeply committed to philanthropy. Lions of Judah commit to a minumum donation of $5,000 to Federation's Annual Campaign.
Your gift plays a vital role in fulfilling our mission of sustaining and enhancing Jewish life at home and around the world. As a Lion of Judah, you demonstrate the power of a community united to provide for the common good.
Step-Up Program
The Lion of Judah step-up program makes it easier for more women and households to join. With a starting gift of $1,800, potential members can begin with a smaller initial contribution with a commitment to grow your giving over time. Step-up members get all the benefits right away. Reach out to Barbara Bloch to learn more.
