A New Home for GW Hillel
The new GW Hillel building will be a hub for cultural, religious and educational opportunities.
After years of preparation, GW Hillel is building a new state-of-the-art home in the heart of downtown at 2300 H Street, slated to open in fall of 2020.
The building, along with the programs and services housed within it, will help to provide the Jewish students of GW the tools they need to lead meaningful, vibrant Jewish lives during their time on campus and beyond.
Students are supported as they make choices that impact their individual identity, their campus community, and the world. Utilizing innovative education and leadership training, in concert with the warmth and support that college students need, GW Hillel works to empower the nearly 4,500 Jewish students on campus.
GW Hillel is funded directly by the generous support of alumni, families, community members, and friends.
Your gift, no matter the amount, provides meaningful Jewish experiences for GW students to enrich their lives, the Jewish community in greater Washington, D.C., and the world.

“GW Hillel creates opportunities for everyone to find their fit. For example, I love taking on a project I know will directly help people. Most recently, I volunteered through Hillel with a local D.C. organization to help fix up the home of a family in need. Being able to connect with these personal and Jewish values of giving back to the community is just one way Hillel has been a place that brings together the individual and the community."

"GW Hillel has allowed me to develop my capabilities as a leader, while simultaneously providing me with the resources I need as a student to have a home away from home in college. I look forward every week to GW Hillel programming, as it provides me with an opportunity to catch up with students and staff in a safe and welcoming environment."
