Lion of Judah
The Lion of Judah recognizes women who make an individual women’s gift of $5,000 or more to the JUF Annual Campaign. Lion of Judah, the most dynamic, philanthropic Jewish women in the world, comprise an international sisterhood of global activists who care deeply about our Jewish future. Additionally, Lions of Judah play a vital role in aiding the vulnerable, preserving human dignity and building Jewish identity and continuity. Lions’ generous gift of time and resources reflect their outstanding dedication to the Jewish community and an exemplary standard of leadership.
Step-Up Lion
Join the Pride and Step-Up to become a Lion of Judah, joining over 800 Lions in Chicago and 18,000 worldwide. The Jewish United Fund is excited to launch a new innovative program, Step-Up Lion, for women who aspire to be a Lion of Judah. To start your journey, make a commitment to increase your gift to the JUF Annual Campaign for the next two or three years (depending on your current donation level), starting with a minimum gift of $1,800 for the first year and at least $5,000 for the final year. As a Step-Up Lion, you will immediately receive all the benefits of being a Lion of Judah, including purchasing and proudly wearing the Lion of Judah pin. You will also be invited to all local and national Lion of Judah events.
