How do I make a contribution?
There are several options for joining, renewing, or making additional donations:
Membership
As a JAC member you will be invited to Washington DC where you will meet face-to-face with members of Congress, leaders in all branches of government, top-level policy makers and political analysts. When you do, you play a key role in maintaining the dialog that keeps the pro-Israel, pro-choice, anti-right wing message alive on Capitol Hill. Participation in the political process has never been so important — and JAC makes it so easy. Basic members ($150) receive a quarterly newsletter, Joint Action Update, and an invitation to the JAC Annual Meeting and community events. In addition to these benefits, Leadership Circle members ($250+) receive the JAC Newsbreak, a monthly update on issues and races, and invitations to selected events. Diplomat ($2500+) and Hineni ($5000) members receive all of the above plus personal invitations to special events and private briefings.
| Membership Levels: | | Hineni Division | $5000 | | Diplomat | $2500 | | Congressional Circle | $1000 | | Pacesetter | $500 | | Patron | $250 | | Basic Member | $150 |
Why Join a PAC?
- PACs, the current method of campaign financing, are a way that individuals can pool their resources to make a greater impact. A PAC like JAC prevents old-line special interests from dominating the political system.
- Groups which oppose Israel have their own PACs; ultraconservative groups have PACs; anti-choice groups have PACs.
- With the power and reputation of a PAC behind you, your donation means more than it would on its own.
How does JAC compare to other organizations?
- JAC is a values-driven organization, not party- or gender-based. JAC supports Democrats and Republicans, women and men, who believe in the special relationship between the US and Israel and and support progressive domestic policies. That makes JAC unique.
- Philanthropies raise millions of dollars; JAC donations translate into billions of dollars in aid to Israel, in federal support for local Jewish institutions and programs, and in policies which reflect the shared values of the Jewish community.
- JAC devotes its resources to political education, advocacy and action.
- The quality of Jewish life depends on charitable and political activism.
