The Association of the JHI has developed The Legacy Campaign – an inheritance endowment program to secure the long-term sustainability and development of POLIN Museum and the Jewish Historical Institute and of activities of the Association in fulfillment of its statutory obligations.

In 2017 the Legacy Society was formed – an informal group of donors who made bequests to the Association in their wills. Detailed principles of honoring members of the  Legacy Society are developed in cooperation with POLIN Museum and the Jewish Historical Institute. We are currently working on an installation honoring the donors to the Legacy and Endowment campaigns.

Contact: development@szih.org.pl

Initiated in 2017, the Endowment Campaign represents a major new stage in the Association’s fundraising for POLIN Museum. The goal is to raise USD $50 million to secure the long-term sustainability of the Museum and its programs.
