I

f you haven’
t yet made
a donation to the
Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit this
year, Giving Tuesday is the
day. Federation has again
secured a match, this time
from the Bellinson family,
for this global day of giving
on Dec. 3, allowing matches
of up to $180 dollar-for-
dollar.
From providing seniors
with the resources and

care to age with grace
and dignity to ensuring
children have access
to Jewish education in
safe environments, the
Federation is committed
to taking care of the
community’
s most
vulnerable members while
also working to building a
vibrant Jewish future.

year, Giving Tuesday has
become an international
event that harnesses
the collective power of
individuals, communities
and organizations to
encourage philanthropy and
celebrate generosity.
In 2018, people from more
than 150 countries globally
donated on Giving Tuesday,
with an estimated $400
million given online alone.
“Giving Tuesday has
proven to be an incredibly
successful day for our
fundraising efforts,” said
Lisa Cutler, Federation’
s
senior director, philanthropic
operations. “Many
community members know
about Super Sunday, Giving
Tuesday has really taken on a
similar role.”
Federation volunteers

will be calling community
members on Giving
Tuesday to collect pledges.
Community members can
also take advantage of the
match and donate online
at jewishdetroit.org/donate
beginning Friday, Nov. 29,
through Giving Tuesday,
Dec. 3.
“After all the shopping
and sales of Black Friday
and Cyber Monday, it’
s nice
to have a day dedicated to
giving back,” said Marianne
Bloomberg, Federation’
s
associate director of
philanthropic engagement.
“Our community is
extremely generous on
Giving Tuesday, and we’
re
excited we can make their
generosity go even further
by matching gifts once again
this year.”
