Shine Bright for Safe and Joyful Judaism!
With campus antisemitism at an all-time high, Hillel of Colorado is vital for our 2,000+ Jewish students at six universities across Colorado’s Front Range. Hillel of Colorado is here, ready, and succeeding. In these perilous times, we speak truth to power, holding university leadership accountable for Jewish student safety while empowering Hillel students to confront rising antisemitism with confidence as they grow into tomorrow’s Jewish leaders.
When you donate, you fund Shabbat dinners and holiday services. You fund educational and social action programming. You fund activities that enrich Jewish students and hone their values. You send students to Israel for a life-changing experience. When you donate, you create a home away from home. A space that over 2,000 students can call their own. Where they can decompress after class or explore their Jewish identities. Where they can receive professional mental health support and healthy food. Where they can feel part of a community.
Hillel isn’t just a safe space. Our home-away-from-home provides students with a rich, formative experience - proven to shape Jewish identity, instill confidence, and inspire commitment to Jewish values and Israel.
Hillel of Colorado is powered entirely by the generosity of our local community, parents, and alumni. Your Colorado Gives Day gift to Hillel of Colorado will empower thousands of Jewish students to celebrate Jewish pride and explore their Jewish identities with the sense of safety Hillel provides.
We need you! Donate on Colorado Gives Day or make an early gift today. Better yet, when you set up a recurring gift today, Colorado Gives will match your first monthly gift up to $100.
Together, we’ll ensure a safe and strong future for Jewish life at DU, CSU, and Auraria Campus.
We build a Jewish community whose values enrich the lives of students during their college years and beyond.

Affiliated with Hillel International – The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, founded in the mid-1920’s to “convey Jewish civilization to a new generation,” Hillel of Colorado is an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit supported by community members, parents and alumni. Our original purpose is no less important today than it was over nine decades ago. Named after Rabbi Hillel the Elder, one of Judaism’s most renowned First Century scholars and teachers, Hillel has grown into one of the world’s largest Jewish campus organizations. Like its namesake, Hillel teaches Jewish values and customs with the expectation that students will become worthy inheritors of the tradition and its timeless values.
