<< Test First Name >> - -  now imagine what JewishGen would be without it's volunteers. It would not exist.

After helping thousands of people, we are still a grassroots organization. Despite so many organizations who charge for access - our site is still free. We believe in our mission of "preserving our history for future generations." So as we conclude 2021, please demonstrate your thanks to our volunteers by making a contribution in their honor (you can choose to honor a specific volunteer, or the whole team), and in support of our important work. Your gift before the end of the year, of any amount, will make a real difference (gifts of $100 or more qualify for premium features).

To donate online via our secure website, please click here. Checks can be made payable to JewishGen, and sent to:
JewishGen/Fall Appeal
36 Battery Place
New York, NY 10280

On this final day of 2021, we know that there are many worthy organizations in need of support, and, on behalf of the volunteers, we thank YOU for supporting JewishGen's important work.

Sincerely,
Avraham Groll
Executive Director

PS. At a time when most organizations are seeking ways to charge for anything they offer, JewishGen continues to offer its services free of charge to the global Jewish community. We believe that Jewish Genealogy should be FREE. Please help keep it that way, and donate now.
