Support JHSGH

Preserve the past, inspire the future, give today.

We’re making history, literally. Every story, every photograph, every memory we preserve keeps alive the Jewish experience in Greater Hartford: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Your support ensures that these voices are not lost but shared with future generations.

Make History With Us

The Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford is a donation-supported organization. That means everything we do, from curating archives to publishing stories to hosting programs, happens because of generous contributions from people like you.

Why Your Support Matters

When you donate, you are not just funding an organization, you are joining a community of people who care about memory, identity, and belonging. You are making sure that young people growing up in Hartford today will know the resilience, humor, traditions, and struggles that shaped those who came before them.

And because we know everyone gives differently, you can choose a custom amount (minimum $36 by credit card) or select one of our preset levels. Recurring donations are available too, spreading your support across the year in a way that fits your budget.
