IMPJ Emergency Fund

The fall of the U.S. dollar in the last few months put the IMPJ, the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism, into a financial crisis. The IMPJ has 2 million less shekels than originally budgeted, representing more than 30% of its funding. Unfortunately the IMPJ has had to lay off half its staff and has drastically cut back on its operations. Never before in Israel’s history has the Reform Movement been so strong and vibrant, so this couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Learn more about this campaign.

Religious Action Center (RAC)

The hub of Jewish social justice and legislative activity in the nation’s capital for more than 40 years, the RAC pursues justice and religious liberty by educating and mobilizing the American Jewish community. Your contributions help the RAC provide information, programs, and publications that support social justice initiatives in synagogues across North America.

Reform Jewish Appeal (RJA)

Support Reform institutions at home and abroad by donating to the Reform Jewish Appeal. Proceeds from this direct mail campaign are split among the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, the Union for Reform Judaism and the World Union for Progressive Judaism.

Disaster Relief Fund

When disaster strikes, Reform Jews trust the Union for Reform Judaism to distribute donated funds to agencies that are most effectively helping those in need. Currently the Union is collecting to help the victims of the Midwest flooding. Funds are also used to hurricane relief and other disasters as they occur. Note: The Union will forward the entire amount of your donation, less any fee charged to us by your credit card company, to appropriate relief agencies.
