In NEXTGen Detroit, the Campaign Chair focuses on inspiring young adult donors—helping them understand the impact of their contributions and empowering them to become lifelong philanthropists. Through peer-to-peer outreach, campaign events, and personal conversations, the Chair helps grow participation and leadership among the next generation of Jewish Detroiters.

In Women’s Philanthropy, the Campaign Chair leads a diverse group of women in strengthening the community through collective giving. She helps guide fundraising efforts, builds meaningful connections, and champions initiatives that support the Federation’s mission locally and globally.

The Community Development Campaign Chairs in NEXTGen Detroit and Women’s Philanthropy play a vital leadership role within the Jewish Federation of Detroit’s Annual Campaign. These individuals are responsible for mobilizing philanthropic support, deepening engagement, and fostering a culture of giving within their respective constituencies.

Together, these Chairs serve as ambassadors for the Federation’s work and key partners in advancing its Annual Campaign—ensuring that every gift, at every level, helps sustain Jewish life, care for those in need, and secure a strong future for the community.
