Save the "Russian American Project"

For the past six years, the Twin Cities Russian American Project has reached out to hundreds of young adults with social and educational Jewish community programs and events.  Unfortunately, due to the current economy, the project has lost bi-cities funding and cannot continue without your support.

Prior to this program, many young adults from the former Soviet Union living in the metro area either lost touch with their cultural roots or felt disconnected from the local Russian Jewish community.  Today the program is critical and dear to the hearts of more than 500 Jews who chose to restore this connection and meet new people of the same cultural background and descent.

We need your help today.  If you have attended an event throughout the years and would like to see these types of events occurring in the future, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution and keep this one-of-a-kind program alive.  Our goal is to raise $25,000! Please pledge what you can and ask others to do the same.  If everyone does their part, we can achieve this goal together.

The Russian-American Project is extremely important to both young Russians and local Jewish organizations that depend on this outreach initiative to maintain a thriving Jewish community.

Please check out this page regularly for updates on our fundraising progress.
