The Harold Grinspoon Foundation All Together Now: A Matching Grant for Jewish Overnight Camp
Now more than ever, Camp Wise will benefit in more ways than one, from your support to ensure another 110 successful years at The Home of Happiness. With the cancellation of our summer season, we will be incurring more than $350,000 in losses as a result of money already spent in preparation for this summer – from facility maintenance, recruitment, and operational costs to supporting our families in requesting refunds. 
We are making crucial financial choices to stabilize our finances, but the key drivers of our financial model are camper fees and philanthropy. The loss of our camper fees means that we must depend more heavily on the generosity of people who love camp and value our place in the Jewish world and our future. People like you.
Philanthropic support from our amazingly supportive community of alumni and friends is critical to stabilizing our financial condition as soon as possible so that we can begin to plan ahead for Summer 2021 and beyond. We are thrilled to share with you that the Harold Grinspoon Foundation (HGF) has recognized the urgency of our situation and has stepped forward with a matching grant. Through their All Together Now: A Matching Grant for Jewish Overnight Camp, HGF will give $1 for every $2 that you donate to Camp Wise now.
