Michael Coles Hillels Of Georgia

Philanthropy in the Jewish Community of Georgia

I’ve been fortunate to work on many important causes throughout my life. Unequivocally, my six years as president of Hillels of Georgia have been some of the most rewarding.  

Combating Antisemitism 

From 2012-2019, during my tenure as president of Hillels of Georgia, the world experienced a rise of antisemitism and discrimination that continues today.    

I am continuously inspired by the work of Hillels. I saw first-hand the lasting impact Hillel had in creating safe spaces for Jewish students and combating antisemitism on college campuses through generous support from our community.  

Empowering Students 

I’m proud to be an advocate for Hillel’s mission to empower Jewish students across campuses in Georgia. Hillel gives students the space to embrace their Jewish identity.  

Three W’s 

In my time in philanthropy, I’ve always followed the concept of the “Three W’s“—Work, Wisdom, and Wealth.  

I see the concept in place with young students who are just starting out. They donate their time, energy and work to building the Jewish community. Then, when they graduate, they become more stable and successful, and their contributions grow to encompass wisdom and wealth

Nonprofits and charitable organizations need community members to donate all three. Are you ready to give?
