The Everyone Belongs Scholarship Fund
Each year, the MBJCC provides $250,000 scholarship and financial assistance to families for membership, after-school and enrichment programming, sports and summer camp tuition. We will never turn a family or individual away due to their inability to pay. The Everyone Belongs Scholarship Fund is funded each year through donor support.
Wiesenfeld Family Security Fund
This fund was established by community leaders and the MBJCC Board of Directors in the wake of October 7 to dedicate additional resources for armed security personnel and equipment. The Wiesenfeld Family Security Fund was named in recognition of a generous gift to the MBJCC Capstone Capital Campaign made by Jason Wiesenfeld, a longtime MBJCC supporter and leader.
Patron of the Arts
Arts & Culture at the MBJCC has touched thousands of lives through film, literary programs, musical concerts, art gallery exhibits, cultural outings, and various special events, lectures and speakers. This is made possible through the generosity of our Patron of the Arts donors who are committed to our mission of being the center of Jewish arts & culture on Miami Beach.
