Women's Philanthropy: Leading Community and Inspiring Change
Women philanthropists are the change-makers and community-shapers of the world. We are sisters and daughters, mothers and friends, compassionate and committed women at every stage of life and career.
Inspired and guided by our tradition of tzedakah (righteousness/charity) and tikkun olam (repairing the world), the Jewish Federation’s Women’s Philanthropy is dedicated to the continuity, connectivity and thriving future of our Charlotte Jewish community, Israel and the Jewish people.
Women’s Philanthropy is about more than just the Annual Campaign. It’s about knowing and understanding deeply the breadth of issues facing our community and rolling up our sleeves to help. It’s about educating, inspiring, and empowering women of all ages in our community. It’s about nurturing leadership and fostering a commitment to philanthropy. It’s about having an impact.
LION OF JUDAH | $5,000+
The Lion of Judah is a symbol of a Jewish woman’s strength, her dedication to the Jewish world, and her financial commitment of a minimum annual gift of $5,000 to the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte's Annual Campaign.
The Lion of Judah pin, worn with pride by thousands of women worldwide, is one of the most recognized and distinguished symbols of shared commitment to the strength and vitality of the Jewish people.
POMEGRANATE SOCIETY | $1,800
According to the Midrash, each pomegranate contains 613 seeds, one for each of the commandments found in the Torah, and was therefore chosen as a symbol for Jewish life and commitment.
