Giving Priorities

At Brown RISD Hillel, we prepare students to take their place in the wider Jewish world. We provide an open, warm, and pluralistic environment in which students can shape their college experience by connecting socially, culturally, and spiritually to the Jewish community and to Israel.

But, we cannot do this alone. We rely on the generosity of our alumni, parents, and community members to make this vision a reality. Contributions to our Annual Fund provide unrestricted support to our five pillars of programmatic activity: Arts and Culture, Israel, Religious Life and Learning, Tzedek (Social Justice), and Student Engagement. Designated gift opportunities are available for those donors who wish to support a specific initiative with a gift over $1,000.

The following list provides a sense of the dollars needed to engage our students throughout the year.

  • $25,000: Overseas Service Project
  • $15,000: A Year of the Hillel Gallery Project
  • $10,000: Taglit-Birthright Israel Follow-up
  • $4,000: One community Shabbat dinner
  • $3,000: One semester of Jewish Engagement Micro Grants
  • $250: One Lunch and Learn
  • Gifts of all sizes make an enormous difference to Brown RISD Hillel's ability to give students the resources necessary to meeting their programming needs.
Thank you for helping our students embrace Jewish life on campus and helping to prepare them as Jewish leaders beyond their time on College Hill.
