Fundraising is how we make the magic happen. Providing experiences we can't get anywhere else sometimes comes at a cost. Additionally, we want to ensure all experiences are as affordable as possible for members. This page will help ensure your chapter finances are happy and healthy.

Our Priorities

We're going to put the 'fun' in 'fundraising' this year. Here's how we're going to do it.

Generate Support for the ISF

We're ready to energize the Movement around the International Service Fund (ISF). Every member should understand why this fund is important and how to fundraise for it.

Strengthen Chapter Fundraisers

We’ll provide support to our counterparts and create new tools and resources to make fundraising and philanthropy events highlights on any calendar.

Inspire Philanthropic Efforts

Philanthropy is a powerful tool to engage Jewish teens, garner support from the community, and most importantly, give back. We'll help our team bring their philanthropic passion to life.

Manage Gamechanger Innovation Grants

We'll promote Gamechanger Innovation Grants as a means to elevate local experiences through strategic allocations of funds to strengthen our Movement.

Gizborim Go-Tos: Top Tools

At February Executives Conference 2018, the Executive Body voted to add a Gizbor and Gizborit position to the International Board to support the wide network of Gizborim across the Movement. With fundraising and financial management as a new focus this year, expect to see a growing suite of resources to help you succeed. Of course, this is just the start. If you're looking to really deepen your skills, explore the Global and Operations priority hubs.

About Us

The Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA) and the B’nai B’rith Girls (BBG) are a fraternity and sorority for Jewish teens—together, we are BBYO. Since our founding in 1924 (AZA) and 1944 (BBG), we have been member-led. Our priorities and programs reflect the interests and issues that matter most to us. Our pursuits are as diverse as our participants.

AZA and BBG welcome Jewish teens of all backgrounds, denominations, gender, race, sexual orientations, and socio-economic status as well as those with a range of intellectual, emotional, and physical abilities.
