Overview

 

By hosting programs for students which are nearly always without charge, Hillel seeks to bring in the many students who might not otherwise be able or willing to explore Jewish life at Stanford.  By making a gift to Hillel at Stanford, you will be joining over 1,200 contributors who make an impact each year on the lives of Stanford’s 2,000 Jewish students and help build the Jewish future.  Over 60% of Hillel at Stanford’s revenues come from contributions by individual alumni, parents, and friends.

 

Gifts to the Annual Fund may be made by clicking on the "Just Give" button on the top of the page.
