This year more than ever organizations need a little extra generosity

Here we are, turning 40 during a pandemic, but still: “THE SHOW MUST GO ON!” It is a bittersweet moment for our beloved organization. While this time would otherwise be celebratory, we, like many other arts organizations, are navigating a difficult time. The Gershman Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival (GPJFF) has an urgent need for additional support due to the impact of COVID-19. For the SHOW TO GO ON, GPJFF needs YOUR help by making a DONATION today! Whether you are a cinephile, love Jewish culture, or have a personal connection with GPJFF, we call on YOU.

Our fundraising goal is $72,000, with a stretch goal of $90,000. Like a “choose your own” adventure story, you can choose the spirit in which you want to contribute. Give to celebrate 40 years of international Jewish cinema! Give to protect the future of GPJFF! Give to support Jewish Stories! Your gift, no matter the size, has a lasting impact on what the Festival can deliver to the community during this time.
