The Ben-Gurion Society (BGS) was founded to support young Jews channel their passion, power and resources to build a strong and responsible Jewish community. BGS is a nationally recognzed group for individuals or couples ages 25 to 45 who make an annual gift of $1,000 or more to the JFO Annual Campaign. A “step-up” BGS program is available for individuals and couples who strive to give at a Ben-Gurion Society level over time.
