Announcing our Capital Campaign

We’re announcing the exciting news: Hillel at UD is officially launching it's "Building The Jewish Future Campaign" to build a new and expanded center for Jewish life on campus!

The UD Jewish community is growing faster than ever before, and our beloved Kristol Center is bursting at the seams. This creates a need and an opportunity for a new, modern Hillel building — a vibrant space designed for connection, learning, prayer, and celebration.

See for yourself—watch our campaign video below!

This campaign is about more than bricks and mortar. It’s about creating a lasting home for Jewish life at UD — one that inspires leadership, strengthens community, and welcomes every student who walks through our doors. With more than $8 million raised towards our $12 million goal, we’re well on our way towards the next chapter of Jewish student life at the University of Delaware, and we are counting on you with a charitable contribution today.

Thanks to the incredible support of the Longwood Foundation and the Welfare Foundation, every dollar you give will be matched 1:1 — up to $500,000 — now through August 31, 2025.

Your matched gift today will help us:

• Expand space for programs, services, and student gatherings

• Create innovative, flexible environments that meet evolving student needs

• Ensure future generations of Jewish Blue Hens have a place to call home

Join us and be part of this exciting moment. Together, we can build the future of Jewish life at UD!
