What is the Emerging Philanthropists (EP) Community?
EP is a community of young Jewish adults (ages 21–40) who are making a meaningful impact through their support of the JFEDLA’s Annual Campaign.

EP offers a series of donor societies and giving levels, each designed to deepen your connection to Jewish life in L.A., Israel, and around the world. Through exclusive events, leadership opportunities, and hands-on experiences, EP empowers the next generation of Jewish changemakers to build community and lead with purpose.

Ready to become an Emerging Philanthropist?
Now’s your chance to take the next step and join at the Emerging Philanthropists giving level. For less than $1 a day ($360/year), you’ll be part of a community that:

• Cares for Holocaust survivors
• Helps Jews in need
• Sends kids to Jewish summer camps
• Combats antisemitism
• Supports our Israeli family
• Strengthens Jewish identity for generations to come

It’s not just about giving. It’s about belonging — to a community that cares deeply, shows up, and takes action.

We look forward to seeing you on February 12th!

Warm regards,

Emerging Philanthropists Campaign Cabinet Co-Chairs
