UVM Hillel is funded by parents, the local community and alumni like you! We have no Jewish Federation in Vermont and therefore no federation funding.
We receive Student Government Association Funding for some activities, but as the number of students attending events and the number of events has grown, maintaining a great program requires more funds. To fully serve the approximately 2000 Jewish students on campus, we need your support. Every gift matters!
Please direct questions about the UVM Jewish Parents Association, the Chai Society and other giving options to director@uvmhillel.org or 802-656-1145 Please click HEREfor more information on becoming part of

Significant funding is needed to support weekly Shabbat celebrations (including dinner!) and Jewish Holiday events throughout the year. Hiring Rabbis for High Holidays, providing holiday meals and Passover seders, not to mention putting on fantastic Chanukkah, Purim and Tu b’Shevat celebrations all take the combined efforts of students, staff and parents like you!Thank you for your support!
