Inspired Women. Stronger Communities.
You have the power to strengthen Jewish life and make a meaningful impact — locally, in Israel, and around the world.
At UJA-JCC Greenwich Women’s Philanthropy, women come together through the shared values of tzedakah, leadership, community, and action. Ours is a vibrant multigenerational community of women who make both a personal and philanthropic commitment to caring for Jewish individuals and families in need while helping to build a stronger Jewish future.
About More than Giving
Women’s Philanthropy is about more than giving. It is about understanding the challenges facing our community and stepping forward to make a difference. It is about educating and uplifting women of all ages, nurturing leadership, fostering Jewish connection, and creating lasting impact through collective action.
We invite you to join the women of UJA-JCC Greenwich who are shaping the future of our community through philanthropy, leadership, and service. From hands-on volunteer opportunities and leadership initiatives to networking events, educational programs, and inspiring speakers, Women’s Philanthropy offers meaningful ways to connect with like-minded women while creating real and lasting change.
Lion of Judah
An international group of philanthropic Jewish women.
Lion of Judah (LOJ) is an international group of philanthropic Jewish women of all ages who care deeply about the Jewish future and give a generous gift of, at minimum, $5,000. A diverse and dynamic group of women – 18,000 Lions of Judah worldwide – who care deeply about the Jewish future. Lions of Judah are leaders who inspire others to give back, strengthen the Jewish people, and make the world a better place for all.
Symbolizing the strength of Jewish women, Lions represent connectedness, leadership and power. Lions impact change on a global scale. The Lion of Judah family gift covers the minimum gift associated with The Women's Philanthropy Brunch. Lions are also invited to the International Lion of Judah Conference. (Event ticket charges are separate).
We appreciate your family gift to the UJA-JCC Greenwich Annual Campaign. Please contact Hila Reichman, Chief Development Officer, [email protected] if you would like to learn more.

Strengthening Jewish Life Today and for
Generations to Come
The Annual Campaign is the heartbeat of UJA-JCC Greenwich.
Every gift helps strengthen Jewish life by supporting programs that connect people of all ages, care for those in need locally and in Israel, celebrate our culture, deepen our connection to Israel and global Jewry, respond to emerging needs, and build a vibrant Jewish future right here in Greenwich.
