Why Give

Do you remember your most meaningful college experiences? Did those transformative moments alter your young adult trajectory and inform who you are today? 

Often, these experiences take place through Hillel.

Tufts Hillel relies on the support of alumni, parents, and friends like you, to provide a thriving Jewish community on campus and ensures that we can continue to impact today’s Jewish students for years to come. 

Your gift to Tufts Hillel helps us provide students with a safe, warm, welcoming community where they can dive deep into their identity and religious practice; connect to Judaism and each other through enriching events and celebrations; develop lifelong friendships; build pride in their Jewish heritage; and work towards making the world a better place. We care and advocate for our students against anti-Semitism, and work with partners across our campus to promote an environment of mutual understanding and respect.

The generous support of alumni, parents, and friends makes it possible for Tufts Hillel to provide a thriving Jewish community for today’s students.  Although we are closely connected to the University and campus life, Tufts Hillel is an independent 501(c)(3) organization and we rely on people like you for the overwhelming majority of our financial resources.

Did you know that every gift has a Jumbo impact?

We appreciate all gifts at every level, because they have a genuine impact on our community: approximately 75% of our donors give $250 or less.  Every contribution to Tufts Hillel from a Tufts alumni counts to help boost Tufts in the US News and World Report national university rankings.
