With the Museum\'s second century approaching in 2004, its vibrant and life-affirming mission is more vital than ever. The Jewish Museum has launched its Centennial Campaign, an ambitious $75 million fundraising effort to build a sustaining level of endowment and to support new growth initiatives. The Centennial Campaign focuses on the Museum\'s five most important areas of activity - Exhibitions, Curatorial and Collections, Education, Accessibility and Outreach, and Facilities - to position the Museum for its second century and enable it to reach the broadest possible audience in the future.

Since the effort begain in November 2000, Museum trustees and close friends have pledged $56 million, 75% of the $75 million goal. Robert J. Hurst, H. Axel Schupf and James A. Stern serve as co-chairs of the Campaign Executive Committee.

We invite you to make an important investment in this community asset that means so much to so many, and to help preserve it for generations to come. With your help, the Centennial Campaign will be a great celebration of The Jewish Museum\'s future.
