About EPIC StepUp:
The EPIC StepUp program is a pathway for welcoming and cultivating the next generation of Ben-Gurion Society (BGS) donors. EPIC StepUp invites participants to “step up” their giving over three years, with a clear and achievable plan: year one: a $500 gift, year two: a $750 gift and year three: a $1,000 BGS-level gift to the Federation’s Annual Campaign. From the moment they join, EPIC StepUp participants are recognized and celebrated as BGS donors, with access to all BGS community experiences. EPIC StepUp is brought to the community by Sue and Alan J. Kaufman & Family.
