Children of all backgrounds deserve to thrive. The Byron Preiss Children’s Fund, an initiative of UJA-Federation’s Publishing Division, was created to help them do just that.
Founded in the memory of Byron Preiss, who championed education to help open doors and unlock opportunity, the Fund has raised more than $900,000 to benefit thousands of children, many of whom have special needs or learning differences. We support access to critical programs that provide education, literacy skill building, mental health support, and more — and it’s your generosity that helps sustain our vital work.
The $1 million mark is within reach. Help us get there.
