Where Do You Give: Reimagining Tzedakah for the 21st Century

The Where Do You Give? National Design Competition is searching for talented designers who can translate tzedakah's meaning into compelling, relevant design. That is why we have created a design competition to invite a new generation of globally conscious designers to celebrate the critical role that tzedakah plays in today’s world.

Where Do You Give? challenges artists, designers and conceptual thinkers to create an updated vehicle for giving in the 21st century that inspires a national conversation among all of us who seek to engage more deeply with our communities—be they geographic, ethnic, national or other—about where we give, to whom and why.

Reimagine the tzedakah box—an ancient ritual object used to collect money for charitable causes—and you could win $2500, be featured in a national exhibit and have an opportunity to travel internationally to meet with some of AJWS’s grassroots partners. Watch this video or go to www.WhereDoYouGive.org to learn more.
