 Donate to the New Orleans JCC Hurricane Relief Fund >>
The Jewish Community Center...making a difference in the lives of six generations since 1855.
Every year the Jewish Community Center, at both the Uptown and Metairie facilities, serves approximately 300,000 people of all ages, regardless of their race, creed, religious affiliation or ethnic origin. This tremendous achievement could not happen without the generous contributions of our donors. THANK YOU.
We need the help of our members to meet the costs of the Jewish Community Center’s educational, recreational and social programs, community services and facilities. As membership and program fees only cover part of the revenue needed to maintain our excellence in programming, support through Tribute, Kovod, and Endowment Funds is critical to the success of the Center. Your gift will enable us to:
• expand programs and services for children, seniors, and families;
• increase community service programs throughout the metropolitan area;
• keep innovative programs affordable for students, seniors and others on a limited income;
• sustain scholarships.
The Jewish Community Center gratefully appreciates and acknowledges donations of any amount. The JCC is a not for-profit 501(c) (3) organization as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. All gifts to the Tribute, Kovod, and Endowment Funds are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
The mitzvah of tzedakah is equal to all other mitzvot combined.
