Campaign Goal

The Endowment Campaign seeks to raise $100 million by establishing a suite of named endowed funds that reflect donors’ values and the enduring importance of Jewish historical preservation. Early leadership commitments have already demonstrated exceptional confidence in the campaign’s vision and momentum.

Why Endowment, Why Now

In an era defined by rapid change, both cultural and technological, the fragility and complexity of historical memory are increasingly apparent. A strengthened endowment is the bedrock that will ensure institutional continuity, protect cultural heritage, and provide financial independence. Building a $100 million endowment today secures the Center’s ability to steward history with rigor, responsibility, and imagination far into the future.
