Bender Family Foundation Matching Grant Program

Thanks to a 5-year matching grant from the Bender Family Foundation, we are seeking your support to assist in the hiring and retention of faculty who have the wisdom and passion to pass on and generate Jewish learning for this and future generations. The Bender Family Foundation supports Jewish learning and educational programs at all levels and will match dollar for dollar your gift to the Program in Jewish Studies up to $50,000.

Please consider supporting this initiative and help us expand our course offerings and provide transformational Jewish educational opportunities at CU. Simply go to www.cufund.org/bender to make your matching gift today.

Our most pressing need is to hire new faculty who will teach Jewish Studies courses. We aspire to hire permanent faculty to meet the growing demand for courses in Israel Studies.
