Rabbinic Alumni Association
Invest-in-a-Student Campaign
Dear Colleague,
We are writing to update you on the progress of the Rabbinic Alumni Association "Invest-in-a-Student" Campaign. With the somewhat improved economic climate and clearer direction at HUC described in the "New Way Forward", approved in November by the Board of Governors, we hope you will be re-energized about your support for this program that enables you, as a rabbi, to directly help a rabbinic student.
We are proud to report that we have over $730,000 pledged (with nearly a third already paid) from 450 rabbis. This is a wonderful beginning, but we have a long way to go reach our goal of 100% participation of rabbinic alumni.
What is the campaign all about?
Our plan is to have every ordination class "adopt" one rabbinic student, providing a tuition scholarship for his/her 5 years at HUC. This gift will not only help our future colleagues, many of whom are reaching ordination with over $100,000 in student loans, but will free up funds for other uses by HUC during these difficult financial times. The money we alumni have already raised is making an impact - on both students and on other donors, who have been moved by the support of alumni.
What is happening at HUC?
The "New Way Forward" allows HUC to maintain a presence in all four cities where it is currently located, but not without major cutbacks and fundraising. Significant cutbacks have been made (the budget at HUC is 25% smaller than it was just two years ago). Support staff has been decreased significantly. Some non-essential property may be sold, and $30 million must be raised over the next five years (a difficult, but not impossible task, as this is just $1.5 million more than was being raised annually prior to the recession).
How is our campaign organized?
The project is supported by a minyan of "five-year captains" who have recruited 'class captains". Our class captains then reach out to their classmates and invite them to contribute to this grassroots project. We offer a sincere thanks to our "five-year captains", who are:

Our heartfelt thanks to the 104 "class captains" who have taken on this important work. We look forward to recognizing their efforts in the near future. If your "class captain" has not been in touch you, please call or email us and we will get the pledge information to your "class captain" or to you directly.
How much to give?
We are asking alumni to consider a 5-year gift. If every colleague gave equally, the annual gift we ask for would average about $400 for each of the 5 years. Many colleagues have, either through discretionary funds or personal gifts, or both, been able to give substantially more. Others are facing their own challenges in these difficult times and have given more modest amounts. Please know that your gift makes a difference, regardless of the amount ... and is gratefully received. Please support this effort and give!
To pledge or make a gift now
To make a gift or a multi-year pledge, please email Joy Wasserman, National Director of Alumni Affairs. If you are ready to make a one time gift please make your check payable to HUC-JIR, write "Invest-in-a-Student" on the memo line and mail your check to the Development Office, HUC-JIR, 3101 Clifton Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45220.
If your name is missing from the list below
If you sent a gift or pledged before February 1, 2010 and your name is not found below please email Joy Wasserman, National Director of Alumni Affairs.
Our thanks for your support, concern, and commitment. We will share news of our progress with you again soon.
