JWF values our members' time and we use it wisely. As a trustee you can select to serve on committees that match your specific interests.  If you are interested in leadership development, you may serve as an event chair for one of our special events or become a chairperson for one of our three grants subcommittees. We encourage members to assume leadership roles and responsibilities in all aspects of the 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. Your membership allows you to effect hands-on change for Jewish women and girls.

Choose your level of involvement in the grants process - from selecting which projects to fund and determining amounts, to simply supporting your sister trustees' decisions.

As a trustee, you have membership on the foundation's Board of Trustees for five years.

Become a member for life!

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, daughters-in-law, 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.

  2. Develop effective, thoughtful and strategic grant-making skills.
