An international group of philanthropic Jewish women.
Lion of Judah (LOJ) is an international community of philanthropic Jewish women who demonstrate their commitment to the Jewish future through an annual gift of at least $5,000.
More than 18,000 Lions of Judah around the world are united by a shared passion for strengthening Jewish life, supporting those in need, and building a vibrant future for generations to come. As leaders and changemakers, Lions inspire others to give back, strengthen the Jewish people, and help create a better world for all.
Lion of Judah Step-Up
The Lion of Judah Step-Up Program is a three-year journey as you make your way to becoming a Lion of Judah. In year one, you begin with a gift of $1,800 and increase at your own pace, ending in year three with your generous gift of $5,000. As part of the Step-Up Program, you will be invited to all LOJ events and recognized as a Lion at all events. By participating in the Step-Up Program, you are making a difference in our community today and tomorrow.
Forever Lions
The Forever Lion program is designed for Lions of Judah to endow their Annual Campaign gift.
With a minimum commitment of $125,000 through a fund, bequest in your will, life insurance policy, or cash, a Forever Lion guarantees at least $5,000 will be gifted to JewishColumbus’ Annual Campaign in perpetuity.
Becoming a Forever Lion is a powerful way to set up a legacy of philanthropic leadership, prolonging a rich tradition of tzedakah.
