Why give?

Every year, approximately 1,100 Jewish students choose Ithaca College. Representing one-quarter of the undergraduate population, they comprise one of the largest concentrations of Jewish students at any college or university in the country.

Each of these students brings their own story, questions, and hopes for the future. Hillel gives them a place to belong—and the support to discover what being Jewish means to them.

Hillel at Ithaca College is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, supported entirely through the generosity of our donors. Your gift sustains a vibrant Jewish community where students gather around the Shabbat table, celebrate holidays, and build relationships that last well beyond graduation. With mentorship and opportunities to take ownership of their community, our students develop the knowledge, confidence, and commitment to become Jewish leaders.

Giving to IC Hillel is an investment in the Jewish future our students will help shape. Through our new giving platform 100% of the donations will go to IC Hillel.

Thank you for sustaining Jewish life at Ithaca College! Because of generosity of donors like you, students have a home away from home at IC Hillel.
