Emerging Philanthropists is the Federation’s philanthropy space for those 40 and under giving a meaningful gift to our Annual Campaign.

Ben-Gurion Society is our community for emerging philanthropists giving $1,000 or more to Federation’s Annual Campaign. Being a part of our BGS community means you get access to homes, speakers, and our top leaders. There are numerous opportunities to meet, network, and connect with high-level people in an exclusive environment — all through the lens of the work of The Jewish Federation.

The Jewish Federation is the central organization of Jewish Los Angeles. We put Jewish values in action to meet our community’s needs and make our voices heard on issues ranging from antisemitism to social services to ensuring a strong Jewish future. We care for our most vulnerable, inspire Jewish journeys, connect with and support the people of Israel and Jews around the world, and actively engage in Los Angeles civic life to build bridges with other communities. We accomplish this by working with our dedicated partners, our generous donors, and our passionate leadership.
