Whose Donation Matters Most?

The Jacobs Camp Annual Campaign is the fuel that makes Jacobs Magic happen. It is thanks to our generous community of donors that we are able to provide a transformative summer experience for our campers year after year.

We often say “every donation is important”, and it is the truth! We count on support from each member of the Jacobs Camp community including alumni, parents, grandparents, community members, and more, to give at the level that is right for them.

But I’m sometimes asked, “whose donations are the most important“? The short answer: YOURS.

Every donation from our community matters! And we are so grateful for your support at any level. In fact, our grassroots donors, giving $500 or less, are the largest group of donors in our community. They make a huge impact by contributing a combined total of more than $55,000 to Jacobs Camp!

We are also grateful to the donors who commit year after year to give between $500 and $2000. They provide a steady stream of support that further enables us to provide scholarships, make program enhancements, and make small-scale facility improvements.

And finally, we are thankful for the over 50 donors who provide gifts of $2,000 or more which allow us to take a long-term view when we plan and forecast year to year.

Thank you to ALL of the donors to the Jacobs Camp 2024 Annual Campaign! YOUR gift matters so much!

When you are ready to make your important gift to camp, you can donate to Jacobs Camp’s 2025 Annual Campaign today.
