Generosity

UJA-Federation's Generosity is New York's premier society for community-involved, socially conscious Jews in their 20s and 30s. Through exclusive events, programs, and trips, we inspire future philanthropists who will create positive, meaningful, and lasting changes in the lives of those most in need.

Generosity Signature Event

In January 2012, Generosity held its seventh annual signature event (photos at right), which has become one of New York City's premier fundraising events for the next generation of Jewish leaders. Each year, this sellout event attracts hundreds of 20- and 30-somethings to an elegant venue like the Puck Building, Cipriani Wall Street, or 2011's Capitale. Thanks to plenty of buzz from social-networking sites, word of mouth, Generosity's powerful reputation, and honorary chairs, this event always raises significant funds for UJA-Federation’s annual campaign and gets new young leaders involved.
