The Jewish Future Promise, originally Jewish Future Pledge, is a charitable campaign modeled after The Giving Pledge, to encourage American Jews to designate at least 50% of their charitable giving to Jewish- or Israel-related causes. From its inception in May 2020 to January 2024, it attracted almost 50,000 signers.
Historyedit
Co-creators Michael Leven and Amy Holtz launched the pledge in May 2020, modeled after The Giving Pledge, to encourage American Jews to designate at least 50% of their charitable giving to Jewish- or Israel-related causes.[1] According to Leven and Holtz, Americans will donate $68 trillion in wealth over the next generation, 20% of which will be given by Jewish donors. The pledge's aim is for at least half of that 20%, or more than $600 billion, to go to Jewish causes,[2][3] compared to the estimated 11% of donations that do now.[4] The Pledge partnered with the Jewish Federations of North America, Jewish National Fund, and Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi[5] to integrate the pledge into traditional vehicles of Jewish philanthropy.[3] The Pledge partnered with Morgan Stanley to create a donor-advised fund.[5]
In 2023, the Pledge launched the Jewish Youth Pledge for people aged 13-24 to commit to being active members of the Jewish community.[6]
On February 8, 2024, the Pledge changed its named to the Jewish Future Promise.[7]
