Project Kesher’s 2020 Benefit: Invest in a woman, Empower a Generation

Founded in 1989, Project Kesher (PK) builds Jewish communal life, civil society and gender equality by investing in women’s leadership, replicable programs and a supportive network of women in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, and Israel. On an annual budget of $1.2 million, we are able to reach people with life-changing programs at unexpected rates using a grass roots, activist approach. PK trained leaders donate over 200,000 hours a year to create more tolerant societies, increase economic self-sufficiency, promote women’s health and well-being, and combat gender violence.

This year’s benefit will honor Karyn Grossman Gerhson, Executive Director of Project Kesher and Wes Moore, Chief Executive Officer of Robin Hood.
