Face the Future with Your Past Endowment Fund Campaign

Welcome to JHSUM’s three-year, $3 million endowment campaign, Face the Future with Your Past. This exciting campaign coincides with JHSUM’s 25-year anniversary and will position our organization for continued growth and success for the next 25 years and beyond.

Growing our endowment to $3 million will enable JHSUM to:

• maintain our collections of thousands of valuable artifacts and records building bridges of understanding;

• sustain popular programs that bring Midwest Jewish history to life for people of all ages;

• attract and secure staff to run the programs and manage the collections that have earned JHSUM a reputation as one of America’s best historical societies.

THE NEED IS GREAT—AND THE TIME IS NOW

Creating a sustainable funding stream to support staffing, programming, and collections will better equip JHSUM to face critical day-to-day challenges as well as strengthen our capacity to guarantee quality programs and services for many years to come.

A VALUABLE RESOURCE

JHSUM has been called “one of America’s best local Jewish historical societies” by none other than Brandeis University Professor, Dr. Jonathan Sarna. Our resources are regularly used for teaching and learning by scholars, educators, students, genealogists, family historians, and others from across the region and around the world.

Your commitment to promoting the vitality and continuity of Jewish culture in the region is the foundation of JHSUM's work. We can't do it without you.
