Tribute Donations

Making a tribute donation to the Jewish Federation of Madison is a thoughtful way to honor someone or celebrate a special occasion while helping those in need here and around the world.

 

Your tribute donation helps support more than 20 essential local programs and agencies, including the Hilde L. Mosse Gan HaYeled Preschool, Camp Shalom, Midrasha Hebrew High School, Irwin A. and Robert D. Goodman Jewish Community Campus, University of Wisconsin Hillel, and Jewish Social Services.

 

Your gift also helps provide rescue, relief, and development programs and services to Jewish communities in need in 70 countries, including Israel, the former Soviet Union, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe. A portion of your gift is also dedicated to providing non-sectarian aid to overseas communities in times of crisis.

 

In addition to contributing to the Jewish Federation of Madison Annual Tzedakah Campaign, consider making a tribute donation for these occasions:

 

  • Celebrate a simcha/happy occasion such as a birthday, engagement, marriage, anniversary, new baby, or Bar or Bat Mitzvah
  • Express get well wishes
  • Send condolences
  • Express your appreciation
  • Observe Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, and other holidays

 

You can also help meet the needs of our local and worldwide communities by asking family and friends to make tribute donations in lieu of gifts for your special occasions.
