Jewish Interactive (Ji) ran their first online matching fundraising campaign - #ReNewTheFuture -  in the lead up to Rosh Hashana 2019, with the aim of raising $150k towards continued activities and growth. 

A generous donor provided $75k on a matching basis and thanks to an overwhelming amount of incredible support the target was successfully achieved shortly before the campaign finished. Stories flooded in from around the world, like the one from a little girl in Detroit who has spent most of her 7 years in hospitals and said that this platform has enabled her to have access to a Jewish education from her hospital bed.

Jewish Interactive's staff team based in the UK, US, Israel & South Africa helped spread awareness about the campaign around the globe. Aside from raising crucial funds, a key success of the campaign has been increasing Ji's profile.

As Chana Kanzen, CEO said, ‘These funds will provide vital support to the organisation, helping Ji continue to offer modern, engaging Jewish educational tools to schools and families. Jewish Interactive is now a world leader in digital Jewish education, using modern tools to ensure that Judaism remains inspiring and relevant for today’s generation of children. Since Ji’s founding just five years ago, we have developed a vast bank of over 9000 Jewish educational games on a wide range of topics for children aged 3-12 years old’.

Jewish Interactive’s universal, inclusive Ji Tap platform and advanced trainings across the globe provide parents and educators with much needed, innovative Jewish educational resources so that the next generation will remain plugged in to Judaism.

Thank you to all those who joined in and generously helped us to #ReNewtheFuture.
