Facing antisemitism and competition, Hillel aims to raise $150 million as it marks its centennial
In a wide-ranging interview, Adam Lehman, Hillel International's president and CEO, discussed how Hillel deals with rising hate against Jews, controversy over Israel and the growing presence of rival groups.
When major nonprofits launch fundraising campaigns in the hundreds of millions of dollars, the target number is often tied to a capital project or a major new initiative.
Not so with the $150 million campaign being announced today by Hillel International at the beginning of its Global Assembly in Dallas, marking the Jewish campus organization’s centennial. Titled “The Promise of a New Generation,” the campaign, conducted via local Hillel chapters, is targeted mainly at funding the operational expenses and growth of Hillels nationwide and globally.
