What minnesota jcc does

Minnesota JCC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Jewish Community Center serving the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area through two primary facilities (Capp Center St. Paul, built in 1964 and renovated through a $16 million community-funded capital campaign in 2018, and Sabes Center Minneapolis) plus a 90-acre summer camp (Camp Butwin) in Lebanon Hills County Park, Eagan, Minnesota. The organization provides a vertically integrated community platform spanning early childhood education (HaLev Early Childhood at licensed sites in both facilities), youth and teen programming, summer camps (Camp Olami and Camp Butwin), cultural arts (including the Rimon Jewish Arts Council), Jewish life and learning, and senior services, alongside state-of-the-art fitness facilities, aquatics, group fitness classes, personal training, and youth sports.

The organization operates on a tiered membership model with monthly dues ranging from $72 (Senior Individual) to $152 (Family), supplemented by program fees for summer camps, early childhood education, cultural arts, and ancillary offerings such as birthday party hosting ($250 standard / $200 member value with modular add-ons) and fitness childcare. Non-members can access programs and services, while donations and endowment contributions channel through the separately incorporated Minnesota JCC Foundation (Tax ID 41-0698596), a distinct 501(c)(3) entity that holds the JCC's real estate assets through two single-purpose wholly owned LLC subsidiaries.

The organization's competitive position is anchored in its physical infrastructure, multi-generational programming breadth, and decades of community trust as a Jewish community institution. Technology infrastructure is built on the DAXKO operations platform for online membership management, program enrollment, and event registration. Leadership is provided by a board including President Jeri Glick-Anderson, Treasurer & Vice-President Adam Stern, Secretary & Vice-President Jeff Tane, and President-Elect Bob Mast, with day-to-day operations supported by staff including Sara Greenberg.
