Give Every Month (GEM) Society

The generosity of our donors is the foundation on which the work of JEWISHcolorado rests.

To express our gratitude, we invite these individuals, couples, and families to come together throughout the year to enjoy a variety of programs and events. Join one of our giving societies and connect with like-minded donors. Be inspired by speakers on the local and national stages. Learn about the many ways your support makes a lasting difference in our community and around the world.

Why Give Every Month (GEM)?

Giving monthly helps sustain JEWISHcolorado’s impact. Monthly donations ensure we can accurately project expected revenue throughout the year to continue our vital work. Monthly donations not only keep overhead low, but they also make returns on investment high, allowing nonprofits to help more people in need because we know what’s coming in. From a high-level perspective, your guaranteed donation will also help nonprofit leaders develop their budget, goals, and overall plan for the year. Monthly donations live under a planned rather than estimated income bucket, which means organizations can make budget and spending decisions with more confidence.
