Join Jewish Women's Foundation
Join Jewish Women's Foundation To Make a Significant Difference for Women and Girls
Start your membership to the Jewish Women's Foundation with a gift of $10,000, payable over five years (pay as little as $167 per month). Your membership allows you to effect hands-on change for Jewish women and girls.
You can get involved, as much or as little as you choose, in the grant process, from selecting which projects to fund each year and determining amounts, to helping evaluate the grant's impact. As a trustee, you have membership on the Foundation's Board of Trustees for five years.
New! The JWF now offers Lifetime membership!
Lifetime membership can be secured with a gift of $50,000 which is payable over five years. This gift gives you a place at the grant-making table and membership on the Foundation’s board of Trustees for your lifetime.
Leave a Legacy -- Become a Trans-generational Trustee
Trans-generational members secure lifetime membership on the board, as well as lifetime memberships for their mothers, daughters and granddaughters in perpetuity. These memberships are established with a gift of $100,000 payable over five years.
Find Out If A Trial Membership is Right For You
Join the Jewish Women's Foundation as a Trial Member with a $2,000 one-time annual gift. Trial Members may serve on the Board of Trustees for one year and help determine the direction of the Jewish Women's Foundation and its grant-making process. After one year, Trial Members may extend their membership to five years. The initial $2,000 gift will be applied toward the $10,000 full membership gift payable over five years.
Change Women and Girls lives in as Little as Three Meetings
JWF values our members' time and we will use it wisely. As a trustee you may serve on subcommittees to match your specific interests. Each subgroup issues recommendations for specific grant allocations. If you are interested in leadership development, you may serve as an event chair for one of the special events held during the year or become a chairperson for one of our five subcommittees. We encourage members to assume leadership roles and responsibilities in all aspects of the Foundation.

- Fund vital projects for Jewish women and girls.
- Develop effective, thoughtful and strategic grant-making skills.
- Bring multiple generations of women together around compelling women's issues.
- Learn about philanthropy within the context of Jewish tradition, history, and culture.
