The Byron Preiss Children’s Fund is an initiative of UJA-Federation’s Publishing Division to enhance the lives of children of all ages and backgrounds by supporting critical programs that encourage education and literacy. Byron Preiss understood that through education, children develop the confidence to explore and succeed.
Since its founding, The Byron Preiss Children’s Fund has raised more than $800,000 to benefit thousands of children, many of whom have special needs and learning differences. Others recently arrived in this country and need help learning another language and acclimating to a new culture.
Your gift to the Byron Preiss Children’s Fund will enable us to help close the gaps in educational opportunity and achievement as a result of the pandemic, and help us ensure that every child, no matter his or her backgrounds, has the tools to thrive.
