As we enter this month of gratitude, we are filled with appreciation for the incredible generosity of our community. Hundreds of individuals and families have already made their gifts to the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville’s 2025 Annual Campaign, helping us reach over $1.8 million toward our $3 million goal—and we’re still heading into our busiest months of the year! Even more inspiring, our community’s average annual gift has increased by more than 26%.
Your generosity is making a real and measurable difference. Because of you, Federation has been able to strengthen every part of Jewish life in Nashville and beyond. From supporting our partner agencies and emerging organizations, to funding our state advocacy efforts, bringing outstanding programming to our community, and sustaining our sister communities overseas, your gifts ensure that Jewish Nashville remains vibrant, secure, and connected to the global Jewish family.
We are also proud that the Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville continues to earn the highest marks for financial stewardship and transparency—with a 4-Star Ranking from Charity Navigator and a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid—so you can trust that every dollar you give is used wisely and with the greatest possible impact.
As we prepare to close out the 2025 Annual Campaign, we are finalizing the Honor Roll of Donors that will appear in our upcoming Annual Report. If you would like your name included, please make your pledge or gift by Tuesday, December 2, 2025—which also happens to be Giving Tuesday. Even if you plan to fulfill your gift later in December, we kindly ask that you submit your pledge by that date so we can ensure your inclusion. And of course, if you prefer to remain anonymous, we will respect your wishes completely.
To record your pledge or for any questions, please reach out to Jason Sparks, Chief Development Officer, at jason@jewishnashville.org.
Together, we are ensuring that Jewish life in Nashville remains strong today and for generations to come. Thank you for your partnership, your passion, and your commitment to our shared future.
With gratitude,
Jacob Kleinrock and Arlene Averbuch
