Why Join?

When you join the JPD, you’ll gain:

  • Funding: Access to Ignition Grants and other resources to support civic learning and action in your community.

  • Knowledge: Curated toolkits and trainings that make civic education simple, safe, and accessible.

  • Relationships: A trusted national network of Jewish leaders and institutions learning together across differences.

  • Action: Resources and campaigns that help you put ideas into practice in your own community.

  • Fulfillment: Pride in knowing that you are making your community stronger and healthier through civic learning and action.

Partnership Levels

Every organization has its own starting point when it comes to civic engagement. Some are just beginning to explore how to bring democracy work into their community; others are already leading with bold initiatives that strengthen civic life.

That’s why the Jewish Partnership for Democracy offers two pathways. Community Partners can stay connected, access resources, and learn alongside peers. Civic Renewal Partners commit to deeper action — leading local initiatives and shaping what Jewish civic leadership looks like today.

FAQs

Any questions? Reach out to [email protected].

  • Any Jewish organization (synagogue, JCC, Hillel, federation, day school, foundation, or nonprofit, etc.) that affirms our Democracy Principles can join. We welcome institutions of all sizes, denominations, and missions.

  • There is no membership fee. We ask only for your commitment to our shared Democracy Principles and — depending on your level of partnership — participation in at least one program or local initiative each year.

  • That’s exactly what our Community Partnership level is for. You don’t need prior experience; we provide training, resources, and connections so you can start small and grow at your own pace.

  • The JPD is firmly nonpartisan. We don’t take sides in elections or endorse candidates. We do take a stand for democracy itself — the rules and norms that make it possible for all communities, including Jews, to thrive.

  • The Jewish Partnership for Democracy is an initiative of A More Perfect Union, which is fiscally sponsored by Goodnation Foundation (501c3) and guided by our Strategic Advisors.
