The Ben-Gurion Society (BGS) is founded on the principles of David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of the State of Israel. BGS embodies Ben-Gurion's legacy, that young men and women use their vision and combine their power, passion and resources to build a strong and responsible Jewish community at home, in Israel, and around the world – through leadership development, networking opportunities, and special events. BGS members are donors, ages 25-45, who give a minimum gift of $1,000/year to their federation’s annual campaign. You can find out more about becoming a member of BGS from your federation’s young leadership department.
