Become a Patron of the Jewish Book Festival!

Join us in bringing the community together through exemplary literary programming

Being a Patron of the Greater Naples Jewish Book Festival qualifies as a win-win! Financial contributions from Patrons provide support to bring you an outstanding array of authors each year. (Through the last seven festivals, 137 authors have spoken to our Greater Naples community.) At the same time, Patrons gain the personal satisfaction of knowing their dollars and attendance at Jewish Book Festival events are essential. Without this support, the Festival would not be able to continue to offer these quality cultural programs.

When you become a Patron of the Jewish Book Festival, it shows a strong affirmation that our community considers the Festival a highly valued component of our Federation’s cultural programming. Patron support of the Jewish Book Festival enables the Federation to bring our community together and keeps us engaged with exemplary literary programming that celebrates authors and their significant contributions to cultural and Jewish life. There are three Patron levels:

• Platinum at $500

• Silver at $225

• Bronze at $118

If purchased separately, the events would total $298. While both the Silver and Bronze levels provide a discount, it is the heartwarming feeling that you are helping support the Jewish Book Festival that is most often cited as the reason one becomes a Patron.

The generosity of our Patrons helps underwrite expenses of our Jewish Book Festival. In addition, money raised helps our Federation to fulfill its mission of building a vibrant Jewish community in Greater Naples, supporting the social service needs of the Jewish people in our community, in North America, in Israel and around the world.

All Patrons receive the following benefits:

• Patrons will be preregistered for each event.

• Patrons will be acknowledged in the Federation Star as well as on the Jewish Book Festival website.

• Patrons have the heartwarming feeling they are helping to support the Jewish Book Festival — support that is integral to the success of the program.

Platinum Patrons receive additional benefits:

• Preferred seating at in-person events

• One copy of the author book of your choice

• The heartwarming feeling that you are helping to financially support the Jewish Book Festival above and beyond the cost of event tickets.

Silver Patrons receive this additional benefit:

• Preferred seating at in-person events
