Women philanthropists are the change-makers and community-shapers of the world. We are sisters and daughters, mothers and friends, compassionate and committed women at every stage of life. Federation's Women’s Philanthropy engages Jewish women in the fulfilling work of making the world a better place. Through our work on behalf of the UJCVP’s Annual Campaign, women take a leading role in raising funds - over half of our campaign annually - to meet the needs of Jews locally, in Israel, and around the world.

“I am a lion because I wouldn’t have the blessed life I have today if it wasn’t for Jewish philanthropy!  A Jewish organization helped my parents leave persecution in Romania and build an amazing life here in the U.S.” --  Mariel Focseneanu

Pearl Society

The UJC Pearl Society Women's Giving Circle is made up of a group of women who contribute first and foremost, to our own community, but who also desire to express themselves more personally throughout the Jewish world.

Each Pearl contributes $180 to our giving circle, plus a minimum commitment to our UJC Annual Campaing. At the end of the year, through discussions and consensus, we donate the giving circle funds to six non-profit organizations around the world.

If you have any questions or would like to join Pearl Society, please contact Sara Traster.
