The Jewish Federation of Cleveland announced that $33,102,355 has been raised by more than 13,000 donors representing 9,869 gifts in the 2020 Campaign for Jewish Needs, the annual fundraising campaign that serves Jewish Cleveland and the global community. Jeffrey Wild has served as Chair for the 2019 and 2020 Campaign. In this volunteer role, he has been responsible for providing leadership, vision and strategy for the Federation’s annual fundraising effort.
Jeff is Benesch’s Administrative Partner, Chief Strategy Officer, Chair of the firm’s Real Estate & Environmental Practice Group and a member of the firm’s Executive Committee. He focuses his practice on commercial real estate matters, with an emphasis on development, acquisitions, dispositions, financing and joint venture work. In addition to Jeff’s active legal practice, he spends at least 10 to 15 hours a week volunteering during Federation campaign season.
“What our community has accomplished in the 2020 Campaign is an accomplishment that Jewish Cleveland can be proud of,” said J. David Heller, Federation board chair. “On behalf of our board of trustees and our community, I sincerely thank outgoing Campaign Chair Jeff Wild for the impact he’s made over the past two years. Jeff’s leadership is impressive, and I look forward to working with Jeff in the future.”
