Your Support Strengthens Us — As One
At the Jewish Community Alliance (JCA), we are more than an organization — we are a living, breathing expression of Jewish life in Southern Maine. Every day, we bring people together across generations and backgrounds to learn, celebrate, and care for one another. Through educational programs, cultural events, social services, and moments of connection both joyful and profound, we nurture a Jewish community that is vibrant, inclusive, and filled with compassion.
Your generosity makes this possible. Together, we:
- Offer meaningful educational opportunities for learners of every age
- Support families and individuals with care, connection, and community resources
- Celebrate Jewish heritage, values, and tradition
- Partner with organizations across Maine to build understanding and strengthen community ties
- Extend help to those in need, here at home and across the globe
Every gift — no matter the size — builds something larger than any one of us. It ensures that Jewish life in Maine not only endures, but thrives. When you give to the JCA, you become part of a story of resilience, belonging, and hope — one we are writing together, As One.
Support the
Annual Campaign
The JCA's Annual Campaign is the heart of how we sustain and grow our work year after year. Your support ensures that the JCA can continue to offer meaningful programs, resources, and services to our community - welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests.

Tree of Life Society
With deep gratitude to Rachael and Justin Alfond for pioneering this giving society in 2020, the Tree of Life Society celebrates the generosity and vision of donors who double their Annual Campaign gift each year.
This community of givers embodies tikvah — hope — for the future. By stepping forward in this way, Tree of Life members ensure that Jewish life in Southern Maine continues to flourish for generations to come.
Each gift represents faith in our collective story: that when we give as one, we nurture growth, strength, and continuity in Jewish life across Maine.

Pomegrante Society
The Pomegranate Society honors women who make a personal commitment of $1,800–$4,999 annually to the JCA’s campaign. The pomegranate, one of the seven fruits named in the Torah, is said to contain 613 seeds — one for each mitzvah. It is a symbol of abundance, compassion, and a woman’s power to nourish the Jewish people through giving.
Members of the Pomegranate Society embody these values, uniting generosity with purpose. Their philanthropy strengthens Jewish life in Maine and around the world, building bridges of connection and care.
If you are interested in joining this inspiring circle of women, we warmly invite you to reach out and learn more.

Lion of Judah
The Lion of Judah is an international sisterhood of philanthropic Jewish women who give a minimum annual gift of $5,000 and lead with courage, compassion, and conviction.
Lions of Judah stand at the forefront of Jewish giving — shaping the future, strengthening our people, and inspiring others to act. Their leadership sustains the JCA’s work here in Maine while contributing to a global movement of Jewish women who believe in the power of tzedakah to heal, uplift, and transform.

Ways to Give
There are many ways to support the JCA and the community we build together.
You can make a one-time, monthly, or tribute gift online or by mail. You can also explore tax-wise giving options such as gifts of stock, IRA distributions, or contributions from donor-advised funds.
Some supporters choose to extend their impact beyond their lifetime by including the JCA in their will or naming the JCA as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, life insurance policy, or financial account — a beautiful way to leave a legacy of Jewish continuity and care.
If you’d like to learn more about these opportunities or talk with us about your philanthropic goals, our Development Office would be honored to connect with you.
