Support the JCC
Make An Immediate Impact
The Jewish Community Center of Greater Buffalo has been part of the Western New York community for over 75 years. During that time, we've become the town square of Jewish life and culture, where people of all backgrounds come together under one roof to celebrate arts, culture, fitness, and wellness. Because of your support, we continue to provide mission-critical programs and services for infants, children, families, older adults, and everyone in between. A donation to the J immediately impacts today and the future.

All for One Annual Fund
Every day at the Benderson Family Building and Holland Family Building, we create lasting connections and meaningful moments that bring our community together. While membership dues, program fees, and tuition help to offset some of our costs, it is only part of what is needed to keep our JCC financially strong. Every gift of any amount to the All for One Annual Fund provides the unrestricted support necessary to inspire the success of our mission across the entire organization.
Designate A Gift
You can support any of our programs by designating your gift. You can direct your gift to a specific program from Camp Centerland and the Early Childhood Center to the Jewish Repertory Theatre, Aquatics, and the Tree of Life Playground.
On the donation page, select the program you would like to support from the list.
Gretchen S. Gross Memorial Endowment
JCC Buffalo has established the Gretchen S. Gross Memorial Endowment to support scholarships for camp and youth photography classes at the JCC in Gretchen’s name, forever.
Our success would not have been possible without the initial support of friends and family who contributed to these efforts. But the time is now to commit to helping the JCC increase its impact while cementing Gretchen’s legacy through the endowment. We have set a goal of $250,000 to ensure we can continue to provide and expand these incredible opportunities for our community in a way that will honor Gretchen for generations to come…..so join our Labor of Love.
