The Power of Women's Philanthropy

Where Do You Fit In?

Regardless of how much-or-how little you wish to be involved, there’s a place for you in the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston Women’s Philanthropy.

LION OF JUDAH SOCIETY

Women who are Lion of Judah Society members contribute at least $5,000 in their own name to the Federation’s Annual Campaign. Currently, the Lion of Judah Society boasts a roster of over 250 women from across the community. The gift is under the woman’s own name and not a joint gift with her significant other.

POMEGRANATE SOCIETY

Women who are Pomegranates contribute at least $1,800 in their own name to the Federation’s Annual Campaign. Currently, the Pomegranate Society boasts a roster of more than 150 women from across the community. The gift is under the woman’s own name and not a joint gift with her significant other.

PEARL SOCIETY

Pearl Society, replacing Pacesetters, is for donors who contribute between $500 and $1799, which includes the opportunity to obtain a pearl Hamsa necklace and additional charm based on giving level. Additionally this program allows younger women (under the age of 35) to become a society member with an annual donation as low as $180 a year. ​ The gift is under the woman’s own name and not a joint gift with her significant other.

COLLAGE

Collage is the Federation’s single largest outreach and fundraising event for women. This event occurs in January or February every year. The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston has been there for people who need help to through challenging times, particularly in the local community.

This year's Collage was a great success, with almost 800 people raising just under $1 million for the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston's 2016 annual campaign.

Linor Abargil is a champion for justice and has committed her life to empowering women across the globe to share their stories and end sexual assault.
