Why Annual Giving Matters. Annual donations sustain the essential programs, scholarships, and services that keep our community strong. Membership fees alone do not cover the full cost of the meaningful experiences we provide. Your annual gift ensures that every person can learn, grow, and connect at the Weinstein JCC.
Your Gift Today Fuels the Heart of Our Community. Thanks to donor support, we recently completed an over $11.5 million capital campaign that improved and modernized our facilities. Capital campaigns fund physical spaces and long-term infrastructure.
Annual giving, however, funds the life of the Center — programs, scholarships, staff, and the welcoming environment our community relies on every day.
A legacy of gratitude. For nearly 80 years, the Weinstein JCC has been a cornerstone of community, wellness, culture, and learning. Your support honors that legacy and helps ensure that future generations experience all the J has to offer.
Your gift is tax-deductible. The Weinstein JCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All contributions are tax-deductible and directly support the life, programs, and accessibility of the Center.
