Patron

$1,000+

Jewish Museum Patrons are dedicated to our mission and are committed to supporting the diverse programming the Museum offers. Annual giving at the Patron level provides critical funding for innovative exhibitions and education projects, and enables the Museum to enhance its standing as a leading cultural institution locally, nationally, and internationally.

Patrons enjoy an array of benefits, including invitations to exclusive events at the Museum and around the city through our partnerships with fellow museums, galleries and auction houses. A generous array of additional benefits accompanies each level of Patron membership. Patron Membership is tax deductible except for $80, which represents the estimated value of the offered goods and services you will receive for your contribution.

For additional information about joining the Patron Program, please contact Jonah Nigh, Director of Major Gifts, at 212.423.3236 or via email at jnigh@thejm.org.
