BENEFACTOR CIRCLE
OU Benefactor Circle members form the cornerstone of the Orthodox Union—and they remained so during COVID-19. While the pandemic halted many of the OU’s traditional program activities, it challenged us to re-envision much of our community programming.
Our OU Benefactor Circle members helped us meet this challenge, many giving more generously than ever before. Much of what the OU continues to accomplish, as it rises to overcome the everchanging obstacles presented by COVID-19, would not have been possible without their partnership and deep commitment to our mission. We applaud all those who lead through their philanthropy and whose names appear here, as well as those choosing to remain anonymous. If your name does not appear in these pages, we invite you to join us in making a difference.
