LION OF JUDAH STEP-UP

The Lion of Judah (LOJ) Step-Up Program is a three- year journey, as you make your way to becoming a Lion of Judah. In year one you will begin with a gift of $1,800 and increase at your own pace, ending in year three with your generous gift of $5,000. A part of the Step-Up Program, you will be invited to all LOJ events and will be 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.

 

LION OF JUDAH ENDOWMENT

The Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) 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 LOJE guarantees at least $5,000 will be gifted to JewishColumbus’ Annual Campaign in perpetuity. Becoming a LOJE is a powerful way to set up a legacy of philanthropic leadership, prolonging a rich tradition of tzedakah.
