Elluminate imagines a world in which all women and girls in the Jewish community are ensured a healthy and supportive environment. A world in which we all have (continued) equal opportunity for economic, religious, social and political achievement. Elluminate works to make this world a reality by providing education on vital issues. Twenty-five years ago, our founders created the Jewish Women’s Foundation of New York to better serve the needs and aspirations of women and girls in the local Jewish community. A decade later, the organization expanded its portfolio to include women and girls in Israel and the developing world. Today, the visionary leaders in our network operate in the United States and around the globe, tackling a broad range of issues including child marriage, mass incarceration, and gun violence. “Elluminate” is a play on the verb “illuminate” in a way that celebrates the feminine. Our integration of philanthropy, leadership, and activism in one organization is unique, so we’ve coined a unique word to describe ourselves. As elluminate, we will continue to reject the false dichotomy of donor and grantee and light a path toward a new way of pursuing social justice.
