GENERAL CAMPAIGN: 

Legendary business leaders like Jacob Schiff and Oscar Strauss enabled the American Jewish Committee, in 1906, to open our doors and take immediate action in the public arena.  Today, through the generous support and involvement of individuals and the nation's top businesses, we can maintain and expand our acclaimed projects and programs and continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the Jewish community and throughout American society.

For a gift of $5,000 or more you will be automatically enrolled in AJC's honorary giving society, The National Leadership Council, which entitles you to special benefits and exclusive invitations throughout the year.

CENTENNIAL CAMPAIGN:

For more than 100 years, the American Jewish Committee has been a beacon of hope on the American landscape, safeguarding the welfare and security of Jews the world over, enhancing the quality of American Jewish life, countering the threat of extremist ideas and terrorist tactics, and advancing the dignity of every individual by promoting liberty and pursuing social justice.

To ensure that our work continues for future generations we must build our endowment through the Centennial Campaign and we urge our closest friends and supporters to join us in the critical effort.

FOUNDATIONS:

The American Jewish Committee is proud to have the sponsorship of many leading national and international foundations.  AJC welcomes general support grants and regularly reports to donors about the use of their gifts.  In addition, given the scope and breadth of AJC's work, foundations can "match" their gifts to their organization's giving priorities. 

 

Foundations interested in supporting AJC can contact Cathy Bezozo at bezozoc@ajc.org  .
