What is the program fee + philanthropic gift?
Accepted candidates will be required to submit a $500 program fee at the start of CLI. In addition, participants will be expected to make a $1,000 tax-deductible charitable donation per calendar year of the program to the Jewish Federation. These payments cover all aspects of the program including monthly sessions, high-profile speakers, special events, meals, and the Israel trip.
