Major Gifts Society
Transformational Giving. Enduring Impact.
Major donors are the visionaries who make it possible for the Jewish Federation of St. Louis to fund critical programs, respond to urgent needs, and strengthen Jewish life—locally and globally. With an annual gift of $10,000 or more, Major Gifts Society members help sustain the core of our mission and lead the way for others to follow.
These donors don’t just support the community—they shape it. Their generosity fuels innovation, ensures stability, and reflects a deep commitment to the future of Jewish St. Louis.
