About

Celebrate with the Gratz community for our first annual Power Up! Gratz Giving Day and Learn-a-Thon on May 23!

On this day, we ask the Gratz community for support while giving back with a full day of learning. We invite you to tune in to the Learn-a-Thon, which showcases Gratz's talented faculty and alumni who are teaching and applying their Gratz education in many powerful ways. 

Can you help us meet our goal of raising $100,000 on Giving Day? 

You can designate your gift for the Gratz Annual Fund and other priority funds. Whatever the size of your gift, you participation will make a difference for Gratz, the oldest independent, pluralistic Jewish college in North America!

Challenge: 30 new donations from our Gratz College AJL community! Gratz will open free registration for a brand new online Adult Jewish Learning class this Summer, first-come-first-served! Starting June 5, Rabbi Jonathan Porath's course, "Soviet and Post-Soviet Jewry: 175 Personal Journeys," tells the story of one of the great sagas of modern Jewish history, the near loss and ultimate revival of the Jews of the USSR and Former Soviet Union after 70 years of Communist rule.
